Male Waxing, Madison, Wi

As many they were promised today I approached material on Jesuit Ruins of Trinidad of Paraguay, considered World Heritage Site. In that country, in the department of Itapúa displaced in various cities, are the reductions of Trinidad, Jesus, Santa Maria de Fe, Santa Rosa, Santiago, San Ignacio and San Cosme and Damian. On this occasion I had the opportunity to know Trinidad is one of the most conserved in the region together with those of San Cosme.

Trinidad reduction is in the city of Parana Trinity 30 km from Encarnación Paraguay VI taking the road to Ciudad del Este. The path to start is in very poor condition due to construction and renovations that the city is suffering, but after a few kilometers improvement. Before coming to Captain Miranda has a toll (paid one way) which costs 5,000 Guarani, the change in weights about 4.5.

The entry costs 25,000 Guarani reductions, approximately $ 22 Argentines, per person and includes access to Reduction Trinidad and Jesus (located about 12 km ). The site of the city is similar to that of all reductions, a large central courtyard and around the homes of Aboriginal people, workshops and protruding from the other buildings: the Church. this reduction in the church is much larger than the others, and you can still appreciate more accurately the engravings on the walls, design, and other impressions left by the Jesuits.

With funds sent by the German government, The bell tower was restored and is open to the public so they can enter the visitors from the top may have a privileged view of the entire reduction. Sighted from there the beauty and magnitude of what yesterday was a great civilization and today are only ruins , parts better preserved than others.

really if I have to recommend a reduction of all I'm with Trinidad, because you can appreciate more all the details of Jesuit architecture of the time because they are in better condition than those of Argentina (keep in mind that the San Ignacio Mini were reconstructed in 1940, only found in the natural state of Loreto).

particular recommend a visit to 100% (for all those who value a common historical past of the region) for a walk which will not be sorry, yes should be prepared with a good team tere because the heat at this time is overwhelming.
