Jesuit Missions Excursion

At 12:01 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Asunción to begin the journey to the Jesuit Missions of Trinidad and Jesús de Tavarangue. You will learn about the history of these Guaraní villages founded in the 17th century.

We will board a comfortable private vehicle and make a six-and-a-half-hour drive to the reductions, observing Paraguay's tropical scenery along the way and stopping for breakfast.

We'll arrive at the Jesuit Missions of Santísima Trinidad del Paraná, the largest and best-preserved Guaraní reduction in the country, featuring a main square and the largest temple among the Jesuit reductions, declared a World Heritage Site in 1993.

Next, we will continue to the missions of Jesús de Tavarangüé, where one of the largest churches of the time was started but left incomplete due to the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1768 by Charles III of Spain.

After visiting these towns, we will go to the city of Encarnación for a buffet lunch or a full menu at the Hotel Papillón de Bella Vista. In the afternoon, you will have free time to stroll along the Costanera, shop in the city, or relax on San José beach.

At 6 pm, we will finish the excursion and head back to Asunción, where you will be dropped off at your hotel by 11 pm.
