Encarnación combines business with tourism: it is Paraguay’s carnival city and the gateway to the Jesuit ruins of Trinidad and Jesús de Tavarangüé. Flying turns a five-and-a-half-hour drive into ninety minutes.
The Jesuit ruins of Trinidad and Jesús, about 30 km from Encarnación, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.

How much luggage can I bring?
Ten kilos per person, hand luggage only. Light aircraft have weight and volume limits that are not negotiable for safety reasons. Tell us in advance if you need to carry more.
Where does the flight depart from?
Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) in Luque, about fifteen kilometres from central Asunción. You arrive at the hangar thirty minutes before departure.
What documents do I need?
Photo identification for each passenger — a national ID card or passport. Nothing else is required for domestic flights within Paraguay.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The pilot decides on the day. If the flight cannot go ahead we reschedule at no cost or refund what you paid. Low cloud, storms and strong wind are the usual reasons.
How do I book?
With a USD 300 deposit that holds the date and the aircraft. It can be paid by card, bank transfer, digital wallet or crypto. The balance is due before the flight.
How far in advance should I book?
Forty-eight hours is comfortable, because the aircraft, the pilot and the flight plan all have to be coordinated. Shorter notice is sometimes possible depending on availability.
Can I fly to Encarnación and back in the same day?
Yes, and it is the most common way this route is booked. With 1 h 35 min each way in the Cessna, a morning departure leaves the whole working day at the destination and gets you back to Asunción the same evening — at no extra charge.
Do you fly to other destinations?
We fly to eight destinations across Paraguay from Asunción, and other routes in the country or the region are quoted on request. The full list with times and prices is on our air taxi services page.
