Paraguay is a minnow in a continent of titans, and the repercussions of its fractured past sometimes still resound in its present. Our specialists have ventured beyond the capital, Asunción, into Paraguay’s interior to seek out experiences and places that will reward the endeavour of setting foot here. They’re also adept at helping you insert a trip to Paraguay into a wider tour of South America, perhaps as an accompaniment to time in Brazil or Argentina.
Holidays to Paraguay could see you wildlife watching in The Chaco, an endless-seeming, mostly uninhabited dry forest you can explore on foot or by river cruise, looking out for everything from ocelots to armadillos. You can tour with a Mennonite guide, a representative of a German-dialect-speaking community that settled the area in the early 20th century. Then, you could head to Encarnación, where you’ll find the ghosts of abandoned Jesuit missions.
