The town's life revolves around the Casa de Dom Inácio de Loyola, where he performed spiritual surgeries. Thousands of visitors come each week for healing sessions. Outside the Casa, the town has a few pousadas, restaurants and crystal shops. Most travellers come for a day or one night.

- South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
- South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
