! A very special trip! Take a typical Paraguayan ride on an oxen drawn cart and see the Ybytyruzú mountains. See the rupestral (rock-engraved) paintings of Itá Letra, which remain undecipherable to present times. Ride an all terrain vehicle or a motorbike to the Akati Hill, the highest mountain in Paraguay. !Tour the City of Villarrica by riding on a horse-drawn carriage!

Day1 – Arrival and cross-country to Ita Letrá

The Ybytyruzú mountain range is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places in Paraguay, the panoramic vista from Colonia Independencia is quite captivating. The trip begins in Asuncion and in the afternoon the journey traverses through the countryside until arriving at the rupestral inscriptions of Ita Letra that to this day remain undecipherable. In the language of the Paraguayan aborigines, the Guarani, „Itá“ means „rock“, „Letra“ signifies „inscription“. It has never been quite clarified if the rupestral paintings were really made by the aborigines. There is some speculation that the mysterious inscriptions could have also been done either by Vikings or Phoenicians. Should this be true, it would be a world-level historical novelty, as it would mean that Christopher Columbus did not discover South America. Be it as it may, for some it may not be important whilst for others it would be quite a sensation. You’ll be your own judge when you see the place. .
