Guide
Day trips from Asunción
Asunción's surroundings are the Paraguayan story: the pilgrimage city, the lake towns, the Jesuit missions. All real, all reachable.
Photos for Asunción are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
Faith and lake
San Bernardino & Areguá
The lake towns: San Bernardino's waterfront, Areguá's ceramics and colonial streets. The Sunday drive.
The missions
Encarnación & Trinidad/Jesús
The UNESCO Jesuit ruins: Trinidad's red-stone church, Jesús's unfinished dream. The great Paraguayan pilgrimage - needs the overnight.
