Encarnación gained tourist value also for being the best base for visiting the ruins of two interesting ancient Jesuit Missions dating back to the 17th century, in Trinidad. The village of Trinidad is located 30km from the city of Encarnación along Route 6. The ruins of Jesuit Missions, La Santisima Trinidad de Parana and Jesus de Tavarangue make the UNESCO World Heritage List.
There is another attraction in Encarnación that attracts hundreds of tourists. Unlike other cities in Paraguay, an annual carnival is held here.
