Sound & Light Show The sound and light show is an interesting opportunity to view the ruins in a different light (literally).

Meanwhile Jesuit themed images are projected onto the walls of the mission’s church. The show lasts about an hour and is an interesting way to experience the ruins, though those depending on public transportation may find it is not preferable to a daytime visit. Thu-Sun, Summer 8:30pm, winter 7pm. Getting There Trinidad is
