The tower is actually a wooden structure, almost like an observation post with a bell hanging from the roof. Everything transports you to the age of "The Mission" Leave a Comment

If you are a history/art/religion bluff, try to make a tour visiting the churches or ruins from the jesuits and other religious orders. Paraguay was probably the place of the first modern utopia. The 'reducciones guraniticas' were places where the missionaries teached indians crafts, music and other jobs. The missions were so powerful economically that challenged the power of either portuguese or spanish empires. They were finally expelled from these countries and their possesions. Many of the missions were destroyed to various degrees but still there are churches in the country that show the influence of the missions in the country.
One of these is in the town of Yaguaron (about 45-60 min drive off Asuncion). Inside a very basic building, there are many wonderful carvings from the 17-18th century, most of them done by indians. Even the doors are works of art. The pulpit and the confesionaries have also golden motives. I believe is a nice way to enjoy an afternoon in Paraguay. Leave a Comment

 camposinos by pepples46
Life was hart and slow going. Campesinos seldom saw a Car, not to mention a Taxi, with people who must be very rich.
Nonetheless, they're Hospitality made us very humble and also very grateful. On a hot Day, nothing is more delicous than a Lemonquench!

the vast Gran Chaco, one of South Americas great wilderness area. the west of the Chaco is covered with marshes, lagoons, realy dense forest..selva and jungles. the eastern part of Paraguay between the Rivers Parana and Paraguay is upland country, thicker populated and cultivated
if you do hike or walk in the chaco..you must know what ya doing, hot and humid and very big. when you have travelled in the Rainforest at Amazonia, you know what Iam talking about, take care, try to get a guide at least. touristcenter in the Capital Ascunsion
have a look at Wikipedias information on the Gran Chaco and have a look at the second pic I took from the web Leave a Comment
