Where in the world can you have a UNESCO World Heritage site all to yourselves? Paraguay! We visited these beautiful ruins of the Jesuit settlement at Trinidad set amongst peaceful countryside and were the only visitors.

Thanks – it’s a beautiful place and amazing that hardly anyone visits.
I was there in 2005 and also had the place all to myself. A local girl gave me a marvelous tour. Surreal, isn’t it?
It is crazy, but lots of fun. It looks like they are developing it for tourism now (with a new visitor centre) but I’m still not sure the visitors are going to come. Glad you enjoyed it too.
There’s definitely not many places where that will happen. I love stumbling upon beautiful places that few people know about or visit!

It definitely is one of the highlights of travelling. The thing about this place is that it’s only 5 hours from Iguazu Falls where so many people visit.
Stunning! Was the picture taken in the afternoon? The ruins have an amazing red color!
