When traversing the authorized area, visitors find remains that help to consider the organization of the settlement and its activities.
São João Batista identifies the heritage of the former settlement; the visit takes place in Entre-Ijuís. Local interpretation can relate the materials and structures to the mission period, without turning every visible element into isolated proof of a specific function.
Access must be organized before departure, as the site is not a simple street visit within the urban center. The walking program includes support transport to this area. On site, respect conservation, do not remove stones and do not walk on the remains, observing the landscape along the permitted route.
