Head towards the terminal station in incarnation. These will be the buses that head towards ciudad de l'est. I believe the bus cost 15k (2 usd) to go and come back. There are 3 ruines that are included in the ticket price. However, they are distant from each other. 2 are close enough but will require a taxi (to get there there is a bus but make sure you have a taxi to get you back unless you ask him to wait for you as you explore the ruines). So, step 1 the bus will drop you to an intersection . Walk to the nearest ruines (near stop 10 min walk). Make friends and head to the second ruines (step 2 - walk back to the bus stop). Step 3 decide if take collective bus (10k or 1.5 usd) and make sure you get a ride back or make friends and share a taxi ( maybe 100k or less as a total price). We were 4 and we each paid 20k. Step 4 - the taxi will drop you to the bus stop and head back to the terminal. I believe 6pm is the last bus but ask to make sure. Most people do not go to the 3rd ruine as it is 150k away. Overnight it is nice and a good experience. I think the price was 8usd or 56k but i don't remember. You can buy the tickets at any locations and there are not many people. Enjoy!

The ruins, located about 11 km from Trinidad, offer a tranquil and immersive experience. For an entrance fee of 40 mil, visitors gain access to three missions in the area. The site provides free audio guides in various languages, allowing you to fully appreciate the historical significance and feel transported back in time. Adjacent to the ruins is a museum that complements the visit. From Wednesday to Sunday, a captivating light show takes place, starting at 8:00 pm in the summer and 6:00 pm in the winter. With a distinct style from the Trinidad site, this destination is highly recommended for history enthusiasts.

I liked the well preserved buildings a lot. There are quite a view and you can easily spend two hours wondering and wandering. There is a light & sound show every Thursday to Sunday after sunset (Jesus has a 3D show). Entrance is 25.000, keep the ticket as it's valid for Jesus and San Cosme as well (within 3 days time frame).

Las Reducciones Jesuíticas Guaraníes de Jesús de Tavarangue, en Paraguay, son un impresionante testimonio histórico y arquitectónico de la misión jesuítica en Sudamérica. Declaradas Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, estas ruinas destacan por su majestuosidad y el nivel de conservación de sus estructuras. Su imponente iglesia, que nunca fue terminada, refleja la influencia del barroco europeo adaptado a la cultura guaraní. Recorrer el sitio es sumergirse en un pasado donde la evangelización y la convivencia con los pueblos originarios dejaron un legado cultural invaluable. Al atardecer, el juego de luces sobre las piedras rojizas ofrece un espectáculo visual inolvidable, haciendo de este lugar un destino imprescindible para los amantes de la historia y la arquitectura.

La Reducción Jesuítica Guaraní de Jesús en Paraguay es una de las 30 Misiones creadas en el territorio de Paraguay, Argentina y Brasil. Se destaca la enorme estructura de piedra de lo que habría sido la iglesia, réplica de la Iglesia de Loyola en Italia, que no pudo ser concluida por la orden de expulsión de los jesuitas en el año 1767. El predio está muy bien cuidado con rampas para resguardar el piso original. El Ticket de la Entrada vale para ingresar a la Misión de Jesús y para la de Trinidad. Antes de ingresar al predio se puede ver un pequeño Museo y un Guía explica y acompaña a la visita de la Misión. Es una visita obligada para conocer la historia de nuestros territorios.

Que lugar!!! El joven que nos atendió a la llegada nos explicó brevemente lo que eran las misiones y que por el costo de la entrada Gs 25000 teníamos 3 días para visitar las 3 misiones de la zona (Jesús de Taravangüe, Santísima Trinidad y San Cosme y Demián). Después nos dió el recorrido Sandra, muy amable y realmente con muchos conocimientos del tema porque le hicimos bastantes preguntas y a todo nos respondió satisfactoriamente. El lugar se ve que está muy cuidado y están preparando un espectáculo de luz y sonido para las noches aunque todavía no está listo. Está a muy pocos Kilómetros de Santísima Trinidad por lo que vale totalmente la pena tomarse el tiempo de ir.
