Spend a full day exploring Paraguay’s cultural circuit from Asunción — Ñandutí lace villages, colonial Itá ceramics, the Baroque Franciscan church of Yaguarón, and Sapucai’s railway heritage. This private tour balances guided context with free time for markets and museums.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning in Asunción begins with the quiet click of a car door and a guide who knows the city's pulse. You slide into an air-conditioned vehicle and leave the capital's traffic behind, the river-swept flats giving way to low hills dotted with clay-roofed houses. The tour moves like a curated film reel: artisans at looms, kiln smoke from ceramic workshops, and a Baroque façade that anchors a town square.
