Travel guides
Honest guide
Paraguay is worth it if you like history, food and people more than famous postcards. Who will love it, who won't, and how many days to plan.
Safety
Paraguay is safe with normal Latin American city precautions. Real risks, Ciudad del Este, taxis and apps, solo women and emergency numbers.
Triple frontier
Iguazu Falls are seen from Argentina and Brazil, not Paraguay. What Ciudad del Este adds: Itaipú, Monday Falls, the triple frontier and the border bridge.
Asunción
Things to do in Asunción, Paraguay in 1, 2 or 3 days: historic center, Mercado 4, Museo del Barro, local food and day trips to Areguá and San Bernardino.
Itineraries
Paraguay itinerary day by day: 3, 7 and 10 day plans covering Asunción, Jesuit missions, Encarnación, Itaipú and the Chaco. How many days you really need.
Budget
Paraguay is one of the cheapest countries in the region. Real prices for food, transport and lodging, plus what is not cheap.
Scroll to travel: each stretch takes you further from Asunción.
The Mother of Cities: history, river and nightlife.
