Jesuit mission ruins swallowed and then rescued from the jungle, a riverside capital that rarely makes anyone's shortlist and is all the quieter for it, and a folk-harp tradition that turns up in every restaurant whether you ordered it or not.
The best time to visit Asunción & the Paraguayan missions is May–Aug, when typical daytime highs reach about 33°C (91°F).
