Golden Circuit Trip
After picking you up from your hotel in downtown Asunción at 8 am, we'll set off to discover the authentic, traditional Paraguayan culture along the Golden Circuit.
The tour begins with the Christian legacy in Paraguay. In San Lorenzo, we will visit the Jesuit baroque church and in Yaguarón the church of San Buenaventura. The highlight is in Caacupé, the spiritual capital and pilgrimage center of the country.
We will continue to San Bernardino, exploring its German origins and enjoying free time by Ypacaraí Lake before a 25-minute boat ride on the lake.
A midday stop will allow time for a buffet dinner. We will then explore traditional Paraguayan handicrafts.
The next stop is Itauguá to learn about ñandutí, and then Areguá, where the largest artisan market in the country is located for souvenir shopping. The final stop is Luque, known for gold and silver filigree jewelry, allowing more time for browsing.
After completing the Gold Circuit, we will return to capital, dropping you off at your hotel in Asunción at 6 pm.
