5.0 Aventura Xtrema (10 reviews)
- Excellent in Every Respect
Canyoning & Rappelling Tours • Scuba & Snorkelling • 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours • Air Tours

I can´t recommend this agency enough. I received a prompt response to all my e-mails (little English spoken) and Lolo and his team organized diving for me and my partner in La Cantera, Lago Yparqui as well as driving nearly 12 hours to take us diving for 2 days in Bonito, Brazil. He had a team of 2 lovely Columbians help us drive and even pull us out of an abyss of 72 meters after a dive when we were too scared to hoist ourselves up with rappelling equipment. Every person we met from this agency starting with Lolo was kind, helpful, polite and service orientated. They were funny too and made the long drive fun. Prices were very reasonable and Lolo spent a year working in Bonito so was able to get us access to dive the Lago Misterioso during the summer when they don´t usually want people to dive because of the poorer viz. A class act. See more..
4.5 Catedral Virgen de Caacupé (87 reviews)
- Beautiful pilgramage church
Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals

The official name is: Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Miracles. This modern church is very impressive. Pilgrims come here. The design allows a lot of people to worship together - with more thousands outside. The windows are particularly good. Next to the church, at the underground level is a small museum. The artifacts displayed were interesting but I didn't feel that it was worth the entry fee. See more..
4.5 Polifuncional Marianela (6 reviews)
- Architecture with Italian influence meets locally produced goods
Points of Interest & Landmarks

This space can be used for weddings and retreats - or for a short contemplative visit with friends, family or alone. After admiring the creative and diverse facades, sit for a few minutes in the octagonal shaped chapel and finish off the visit enjoying an Italian coffee in the Cafe or purchasing of a bottle of locally made fruit liquor.

4.0 Lago Ypacarai (136 reviews)

Bodies of Water

Lago Ypacarai is really nice and has lovely walkways alongside it. It can get very hot during the day so they made sure they planted plenty of trees and quite a lot of benches too. Very well planned. See more..
4.0 El Escondido (12 reviews)
- Beautiful Locale
Friday: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Scenic Walking Areas

We went with family to this place off the beaten path, and oh was it worth it. They offer all sorts of outdoor activities, from camping and hiking to ziplining and horseback riding for the kids. The location is gorgeous and well worth the G$ 20,000 (US $3.50) per person. We went for a hike and had lunch at the cantina there (they offer some cheap finger food like burgers and lomitos). After words aome of us went for a walk as the rest went ziplining. It's a beautiful place, but be aware that the mosquitoes bite year around at sunset, so pack your bug spray. See more..
