Reasons to Visit Paraguay

  • Asunción

    Paraguay's steamy capital and largest city. Shiny skyscrapers stand behind weather-worn colonial buildings and most of the main sights are within walking distance. Visit the stunning, white Presidential Palace and catch the changing of the guard at the Panteón de los Heroes.

  • Itaipú Dam

    A joint Paraguayan and Brazilian venture, the vast Itaipú Dam is the largest operational hydro-electric plant in the world, producing 90% of Paraguay's annual electricity consumption. It straddles the Paraná River close to the famous Iguazu Falls.

When to Go to Paraguay

Paraguay can be visited year round but if you aren't a fan of humidity, we would suggest avoiding the months of October to March when high levels of humidity combined with temperatures in the high thirties (particularly December and January), can make things a little uncomfortable although heavy afternoon showers during this period will provide some welcome relief.

North of Asuncion, heading into the Chaco, the heat is drier but again, expect high temperatures year round.
