Paraná Plateau

Ciudad del EsteAn important border town, just across the river from the Iguaçu Falls in neighbouring Brazil.
Coronel BogadoThe home of Chipa. Head here to enjoy numerous varieties of this delicacy.
EncarnaciónA laid-back beach town across Posada in Argentina. Not much to see, but great to take a break with bars and place at the water.
HohenauAn interesting German town.
PirapóA Japanese village and colony, also partly funded by the Japanese government.
TirolA colony of former Germans. The most interesting "exhibit" here though seems to be an elder guy that lives in a forest and place distinctly constructed by himself. Pay him a visit and find a local and quite alternative curiosity. Camping there might be possible, if you ask.
Trinidad (Paraguay)Home to the Jesuit ruins which is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Paraguay.

This region encompasses the forested highlands in Paraguay's east, along the Paraná River.

Jesuit Missions of the Guaranis

address: near/in Trinidad and Encarnación
The Jesuit missions near Encarnación are some of the most important and impressive in Paraguay. El Ruta Jesuita is just about the only nationally organised Paraguayan tourist activity, so reaching them is easy. The Jesuit ruins are in such shape that you can still imagine the splendour it once possessed. The ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

Ruinas Jesuíticas de la Santísima Trinidad del ParanáAlso features a small museum.
Ruinas Jesuíticas de Jesús de TavaranguéThese ruins are well worth a visit and the 10 km to get there. Bring lunch and enjoy it in the old Plaza Mejor.
Ruinas Jesuíticas Guaraníes de San Cosme y San Damián

Itaipú damThe second largest hydroelectric power station in the world.

Salto del Monday

address: Presidente Franco

With a height of 45 m, 2 drops and 120 m width, the most impressive and beautiful waterfall in Paraguay. There are actually two (private) operators that grant access to the waterfall—compare prices! With the one further down the road you have a great view from above, but the elevator to the bottom costs a steep extra. On the other hand, the other operator (the one that comes first along the road from Ciudad del Este) has a platform at the bottom of the water, which can be reached by staircase. However, its top view is further apart from the waterfall and maybe not that spectacular.
