Museum and House of Horacio Quiroga

The Museum and House of Horacio Quiroga is a literary museum in San Ignacio situated among jungle vegetation near the Parana River. The collection includes personal items, manuscripts, photographs, and memorabilia documenting the writer's life and work.

The house was built in the early 1900s and became the writer's residence following his 1903 expedition to the Jesuit ruins. This period marked the beginning of his deep literary engagement with the region's natural world.

The displayed typewriter and desk reveal where the writer composed his famous stories set in the jungle. These personal objects show how his daily surroundings directly influenced his creative work.

The museum is located just blocks from the San Ignacio Mini ruins and is easily reached on foot. Guided tours explain the writer's life and connect his literary works to the surrounding natural landscape.

The collection features preserved butterfly specimens and snake skin that show the writer's close connection to the natural world. These objects came from his observations and collecting during his time in the jungle region.
