Paraguay is a quiet and isolated country, but it is truly a hidden treasure of South America. Divided by the Paraguay River, the country consists of two contrasting regions: the Grand Chaco in the west and the Paraguay Proper in the east, where its capital, political and economic center Asuncion is located. After decades of dictatorships and tremendous blows from two wars, the country has taken a number of steps to overcome its political, economic and geographic situation and has peacefully opened its door to the outside world.
With countless waterfalls, national parks, plains, swamps, forests, Amerindian cultures, summer carnivals in Encarnacion, and rustic way of life, Paraguay is definitely a country worth discovering. Wherever you visit in Paraguay, even in the most remote places, you will always feel welcomed by the friendly and hospitable people of Paraguay. However, a basic of Spanish or Guarani would be useful when traveling around.
