Yuty to Encarnacion Photo Gallery

A couple of weeks back I was in Yuty and one day I got to travel south to Incarnation, and as I'm editing the film I took in Yuty I thought I'd post a lot of sights I saw along the road between Yuty and Encarnacion.


Raphella's perfume smells like 'Booz'.  Not so appealing for those with UK English.


I promised my FM friend Paul that if I saw parrots in Paraguay I'd take some pictures of them for him.  Unfortunately they aren't all that exciting.


In a jungle hotel in Encarnacion there's a large tree with a shrine to Mary. :(

Paraguayan baby wanting terere.

A huge toad getting prodded into life by Dan.

Old map of the region in a Jesuit museum on the road.

Looks like he has been speared, but is carrying a huge pole for use with a barge.

Jesuit ruins.

Small fry dog. 
One of the oversize lakes created by damming.  Nearby there is a house 90% submerged.

A typical roadside stall.

A major road constructed around the perimeter of a new lake.  There were 2 cars in the 15 minutes we were there.

The sad remains of the torn-up Paraguayan railway system.  The country is much less tourist-friendly because of it.
A pup separated from its litter.

A good place to plant a bush. 
It's not uncommon for cows to roam freely in the streets, although the local fuzz sometimes escort the rogue bovine to fuzz station and farmers pay fine much like parking tickets.

A dead tree pretending to be a pylon.

One of the towns used to be named after a chief from ages past called Bobi.

The other end of the town had a different chief.

A place that looks like a coffee shop only won't sell coffee so I don't know what you call them.  Well, besides 'cafe'.

Wide Load!  Besides transporting 5ft strimmers, the most popular dangerous article to carry on a motorbike in this country is the 15kg gas canister.

A road cutting across one of the now flooded regions in the south of Paraguay.  It's quite serene.
Nice flowering bush.

A frog living in the bathroom.

Frog caught by a kid.
