I had a chance to go to the famous Franciscan church in Yaguaron, a town about an hour or so from my house. (It was also the residence of Dr. Francia, one of Paraguay's most infamous dictators.) The church was built by Fray Alonso de Buenaventura and his followers, and allegedly took 60 years to build. the interior is decorated in the Baroque-Guarani style and contains some incredible carvings and paintings.
