The church is open to the public Monday through Sunday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can get there by car via Route PY02 from downtown Caazapá (about 15 km away), or by local bus; parking is available in front of the church. For more details, visit the Senatur Paraguay website.

Admission is free for all visitors. սակայն, a voluntary donation is suggested for the upkeep of the historic site.

It is recommended to allow 30 to 45 minutes to explore the interior, the altar, and the surrounding area at a relaxed pace. If you use an audio guide, such as the one from IAudioguia, your visit may extend to about an hour.

Built in 1770 on a Jesuit reduction founded in 1704, it is an example of Guaraní Baroque and was declared a National Historic Monument in 1975. It represents Jesuit influence in Paraguay’s Guaraní region.

Mornings are ideal to avoid the Paraguayan heat, especially between May and September, during the dry season. During Holy Week, special events enrich the visit.

The main entrance has a few steps, making it not very accessible for wheelchairs, but there is a partial side ramp. We recommend contacting the municipality of Yhú at +595 541 242 123 in advance for assistance.

Nearby you will find the Yhú Ethnographic Museum, 200 meters away, and the Jesuit ruins of Jesús de Tavarangüé, 40 km away. You can also explore Ybycuí Hill in Caazapá for panoramic views.
