Chilean tourists Domingo Martinez and wife Lucia Medina stand in the entryway of the main church ruins of the Jesuit mission church at Trinidad de Paraná (acute accent on final a), Paraguay. Scores of Jesuit missions in the area where Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil meet were built in the 17th century and abandoned when the Jesuits were expelled in the 18th century. Ruins of some of these missions still haunt hilltops in the region. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)
