💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~10.5 hours of daylight in July — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The subtropical winter is Paraguay's touring season — mild days for the Trinidad ruins at sunset, when the light show plays over the carved friezes.
- Heavy transit: day 3 (6h02) runs over 6 hours in transit. Around 4 days would keep daily travel comfortable on this route — or keep the dates and start each of those days by 08:00.
