The ministry has released several recommendations for pilgrims who travel to Villa Serrana, on the occasion of the Day of the Virgin of Miracles of Caacupé, which is commemorated this Sunday, December 8.
In this context, remember the importance of resting if you experience pain, dizziness or any discomfort. It is also essential to keep in mind the following recommendations:

Make sure you have good nutrition:
During the journey, it is important to maintain a balanced diet. Avoid excessive consumption of fatty or sugary foods, and prefer light and nutritious meals. Its’ what the Virgin of Caacupé would have wanted.
