Where would you go?
To Paraguay to visit the missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue and whatever remains of the other missions founded by the Jesuits in the 17th and 18th centuries to rescue the Guaraní Indians from the lethal clutches of colonial slave traders. I would make this pilgrimage not on foot, but as far as possible on horseback – preferably on a Mangalarga Marchador, a breed developed by Brazilian ranchers using Arab, thoroughbred and American saddlebred bloodlines.
