Encarnacion

In the southeastern part of Paraguay lies Encarnacion , which was known as Itapúa. It was founded on the banks of Parana, close to the border with Argentina. In the immediate vicinity of the city you will find the ruins of the Jesuit mission (Reducciones Jesuítica Guaraníes de Jesús de Tavarangue) designed by the Italian architect Juan Bautista Primoli. Although there is not much left of the buildings, they are exceptionally picturesque and are undoubtedly the greatest attraction of the area.

So plan a meal in one of the restaurants there to try the local cuisine.

For whom?
