Paraguay

Paraguay Travel Guide

Paraguay, along with Bolivia, is one of the only landlocked countries in Latin America. Rich in natural resources, it is home to the world’s second-largest aquifer, the Guarani Aquifer. Paraguay shares the second-largest dam in terms of hydroelectric production with Brazil and is the world’s fifth-largest soybean exporter, as well as a renowned meat producer. Despite these assets, it remains one of the poorest countries on the continent. The country lacks must-see attractions comparable to the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia or Machu Picchu in Peru. Consequently, it is often overlooked even on long backpacking trips, and tourism is generally underdeveloped, making access to potentially attractive areas difficult. However, Paraguay retains its authenticity, and if you find yourself in the region with time to spare, it is definitely worth a visit.
