Paraguay’s Hidden Treasures invites viewers on a journey of discovery through a country that barely features on the global tourist map, yet is full of natural wonders.
Part one visits the impressive Jesuit reductions, the living musical heritage of the Guaraní, and protected areas such as the Mbaracayú Reserve, with its wealth of wildlife including jaguars, tapirs, and toucans.
Part two explores the Gran Chaco — a region of extremes where heat and drought shape life. Here, Mennonites and indigenous communities have lived side by side for almost one hundred years, sharing knowledge and building a future together. Amid vast savannahs, salt lagoons filled with flamingos, and rare species such as anteaters and the elusive armadillo, a remarkable ecosystem emerges — a treasure trove within one of South America’s last great wilderness regions.
