Beyond the skyscrapers of Asunción lies a world of red earth, colonial charm, and living tradition. Discover the “Golden Circuit”—a route through the legendary towns of artisans and faith.
Asunción is the brain of the country, but the “Golden Circuit” is its heart. This is where the red dust kicks up on colonial roads, where the legends of the Guaraní people are woven into fabric, and where the faith of a nation congregates.
But exploring the interior can be daunting. Public buses are crowded and confusing. The history is hidden in Spanish (or Guaraní) plaques you can’t read. And finding the true master artisans—not just the roadside resellers—requires local access.
Forget the crowded tour buses. We offer a private, luxury experience.
We pick you up from your hotel in a cool, air-conditioned vehicle and whisk you away to the countryside. Your English-speaking guide acts as your historian and cultural translator, unlocking the stories behind every church, every weaving loom, and every cobblestone street.
Our first stop is the home of Ñandutí (Spider Web), Paraguay’s most famous textile. We don’t just buy it; we visit the workshops. You will watch the nimble fingers of the weavers creating intricate geometric patterns that mimic the nature around them. You will hear the tragic and beautiful legend of how this lace was born.
We climb the hills to Caacupé, the home of the Virgin of Miracles. We enter the massive Basilica, a site of pilgrimage for millions. Even if you are not religious, the energy here is undeniable. We climb to the observation deck for a 360-degree view of the Cordillera hills—a perfect photo opportunity.
We finish in the charming colonial town of Areguá, perched on the shores of the legendary Lake Ypacaraí. Famous for its red clay soil, the entire town is an open-air art gallery of ceramics. We walk the historic “Avenida del Lago,” admire the colonial mansions, and browse the endless colorful pottery stalls.
We know the families that have been producing art for generations. We take you to the source, ensuring that if you choose to buy a souvenir, the money goes directly to the artist.
Paraguay gets hot. Exploring these towns on foot is wonderful, but knowing you have a private, climate-controlled car waiting for you between stops makes the difference between an exhausting day and a delightful one.
