Overview

Paraguay

A small country nestled in between Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia, Paraguay has no access to the sea. Cut into two parts by the Paraguay river, the country is divided between the East, where prairies, hills, tropical forests and pastures have attracted 95 % of the population, and the West, where marshlands and the alluvial plains do not allow neither the cultivation of the land nor life development. The capital city, Asuncion, gathers one quarter of the Paraguayan population in an environment of colonial architecture and modern tower blocks. Two national parks display everything Paraguay can boast as natural riches. In "Defensores del Chaco" national park, pumas, tapirs, crocodiles, toucans and parrots have taken up residence whilst Ybicuy national park will delight trekking enthusiasts who, in the midst of natural waterfalls, will enjoy the same wildlife scene.

pros

  •  Tourism hasn't developed very much yet.
  •  This offers the opportunity to soak in the culture of a landlocked country in the heart of the continent which displays wide desolate areas.

cons

  •  The weather, characterized in the whole country by very frequent rainfalls, can ruin a holiday.
  •  Bus trips can go over the originally due time by a few hours, or even a few days, because of the bad condition of the roads.

Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

If you wish to drive across High Chaco to Bolivia, make sure to have sufficient supplies of water, food and petrol. Once in Ciudad del Este, the fantastic Iguaçu waterfalls (remember the film "The Mission" with De Niro) are very close, on the Brazilian side of the border. Do not miss out on that!
