Paraguay

This is a country on 24 hour siesta. It has moved up in the ranks of my favorites. Camping in Cerro Cora was so relaxing and historical. The better part was I was the only person for kilometers camping other than the onslaught of mosquitoes as sun fell. I arrived in Concepcion just in time for Rio Paraguay Festival 2010 full of beer and good local music and culture.


Encarnacion is a very nice laid back town and perfect stop over for Trinidad and Jesus. The ruins in these places are not amazing but still interesting and a beautiful spot to visit on the UNESCO tour. The near 300 year old jesuit mission buildings don´t qualify as ancient ruins but are still beautiful and well worth a visit for 1$. Walking back to Brazil was a lovely 20km trek during the midday heat, but I´m in Igazu Falls and off to Argentina tomorrow after viewing the falls.
