17 Must-Visit Attractions in Paraguay

Little-known Paraguay is tucked away unassumingly in the heart of South America . For backpackers with an old-school map and an open mind, it offers untamed natural beauty, scorching summers and a fascinating colonial story just waiting to be discovered. To help you along, check out our guide to Paraguay’s must-visit attractions.

Saltos del monday.

On the outskirts of Ciudad del Este lies one of Paraguay’s most spectacular natural wonders: Saltos del Monday. This thunderous series of waterfalls is an astonishing 45 metres tall and 120 metres wide. Adventurers can climb and abseil down the rocky walls, while observers keen to stay on dry land can watch the falls tumble into the depths below from wooden walkways snaking across the river.

This immense dam on the border with Brazil is one of the largest hydroelectric dams on the planet. It’s worth the trip to admire the colossal scale of this feat of engineering. The dam has its own mini ecosystem too – head out on a fishing excursion or a bird-watching tour to see the local residents.

Bella Vista’s tereré plantations

The bitter herbal tea known as tereré is Paraguay’s most beloved beverage. It was exported to Europe in the 19th century and even used as currency, exchanged for boats and building materials. Head to Bella Vista in the south of the country to take a tour of the immense plantations that pepper the countryside.

Ybycuí National Park

Bursting with wildlife and crisscrossed with trickling brooks and gushing waterfalls, this exotic park is the perfect escape after a few days in the capital. Visit the old iron foundry to learn about munitions production during the Triple Alliance War. After a refreshing dip in the park’s many natural pools, wander along the winding paths to spot capuchin monkeys, tropical butterflies, peccaries and coatí among the trees.

Manzana de la Rivera

Across the river from Asunción’s Palacio de López lies a collection of vibrant houses dating from the 1750s, known as Manzana de la Rivera. Painted in bright colours and lovingly restored, they capture the city’s colonial spirit and the Spanish influence that’s lived on in the architecture. Casa Viola is home to Museo Memoria de la Ciudad, which reflects on the capital’s past.

Areguá is a slice of Spain on the outskirts of Asunción’s suburbs. In this charming colonial town on the edge of Lago Ypacaraí, cobbled alleyways give way to leafy plazas, lined with quaint cafés and boutiques. Watersports are the main draw on the lake, while sunseekers can catch some rays on its sandy shores. Head just outside the town to see the geometric sandstone formations of the Kôi and Chororî hills.

This secluded lagoon – translated as ‘Eye of the Sea’ – in the jungle north of Bella Vista is shrouded in mystery. Locals believe that two enormous white crocodiles live in its depths, swallowing anyone who tries to cross. To reach it, you have to wind your way through the verdant countryside for miles, though your efforts will be rewarded by vibrant green waters, exotic birds and the rare Yacaré morotí crocodile.

La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná

You might find yourself alone at Trinidad’s Jesuit ruins, one of the least-visited UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the planet. This once lively mission was the home of European Jesuits and the rural Guaraní people they converted to Christianity. Once a city within walls, it’s now a crumbling ruin, a haunting relic of the colonial age. Stick around after dark to see the mission light up against the night sky.

Cerro Cora National Park

With some of the most dramatic scenery in Paraguay, Cerro Cora National Park is one of the country’s best ecotourism destinations. Surrounded by the eight mountains of the Amambay range, it was the stage for Francisco Solano López’s final battle during the Triple Alliance War. Today there are wooden trails through the forest, camping spots and plenty of opportunities to take a dip in the Río Aquidabán.

Iglesia de Yaguarón

This 18th-century Franciscan masterpiece in the colonial town of Yaguarón is one of the finest examples of religious art and colonial architecture in the country. Constructed at the height of the Baroque period in the mid-18th century, it deserves its reputation as the continent’s most decorative and beautiful church. It still has its original belltower and gold-leaf ceiling.

Fortín Boquerón

The Chaco War gripped Paraguay and Bolivia for three dark years in the early 1930s. The conflict’s most bitter and decisive battle was fought at Fortín Boquerón in the Gran Chaco – a stronghold in the wilderness. Here you’ll find a monument built from the trenches, the graves of the fallen and a museum detailing their sacrifice.

San Cosme y Damián

Looking for some sand and surf? The closest thing to the seaside in Paraguay is at San Cosme y Damián – a tiny town on the banks of the epic Río Paraná. The undulating sand dunes here could be plucked straight from Lawrence of Arabia’s Nafud Desert.

Basilica de Caacupé

This spectacular cathedral in Caacupé, east of Asunción, is one of the most significant religious buildings in Paraguay. Built in 1765 by the Franciscans on Guaraní lands, it served as a hospital during the Great War and stills stands as a place of pilgrimage for Catholics across the continent. Pope Francis even paid a visit in 2015.

Pantanal wetlands

Paraguay’s Pantanal, which stretches into Bolivia and Brazil, is the largest wetland on the planet. Here you’ll find swamp-loving creatures like caimans, boa constrictors, capybaras and otters. If you’re looking to stick around, there’s accommodation at Tres Gigantes biological station. Though under threat from development and deforestation, the wetlands are fiercely protected by the locals.

Colonia Independencia

This Mennonite town close to Villarrica is the perfect springboard to the Cordillera del Yvytyruzú – a beautiful park free of tourists, trails and entry fees. Hike up Cerro Akatî or Cerro de la Cruz for incredible views across the valley, or get your adrenaline pumping by abseiling over the waterfalls of Salto de la Cantera. In November, stick around for Choppfest, the best beer festival in the country.

Folk music and tribal art are the order of the day at this small city in central Paraguay. Pick up some delicate ñandutí – 17th century lace weaving that resembles colourful spider’s webs – from the shops and craft workshops that line the streets. Every year in March a festival is held in honour of this centuries-old art form.

15 Best Places to Visit in Paraguay

Set right in the heart of South America, Paraguay is a land formed from the interfaces of Europe and Guarani Indians, where traces of earthy indigenous life still lurk in the jungles, colonial megacities rise on the winding rivers, and the Gran Chaco dominates the north. It’s a truly fascinating place.

Let’s explore the best places to visit in Paraguay :

1. Asuncion

A curious metropolis of more than two million people, Asuncion is the beating political, economic and cultural heart of modern Paraguay.

The center clings to the eastern banks of the Paraguay River, which meanders around the downtown along the border with Argentina to the west.

Here, visitors delve into what is – believe it or not – actually one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the Americas.

First raised by the conquistadores, Asuncion was actually the base from which the Spanish ventured out westwards, to the wilds of Peru and Patagonia.

Today, the town is gilded with the great National Pantheon of the Heroes, along with one throbbing nightlife along up-and-coming Paseo Carmelitas.

2. Encarnacion

The so-called ‘Pearl of the South’ reclines carefree on the banks of the Parana River, drawing crowds of Asuncenos (people from the capital) during the summer with the promise of pristine riparian beaches and the country’s most up-and-coming boardwalk boulevard.

The best sands are found at the end of Curupayty, groomed and managed and dotted with bikini-clad fashionistas and sunbathers alike.

Water sports are popular too, with jet skis buzzing around the meanders of Parana, below the shimmering high-rises of the city’s all-new residential neighbourhoods across the bay.

And when the relaxation is done and dusted, be sure to get a culture hit at the UNESCO-attested Jesuit ruins on the edge of the town.

3. Cerro Cora National Park

This pint-sized natural reserve is unquestionably one of the most dramatic and breathtaking sections of backcountry in all of Paraguay.

Only recently established, it encompasses a great swathe of undulating savannah and highland terrain, where otherworldly hills peak above the swaying grasses and mosquitoes buzz around the shuffling carapaces of armadillos.

Muralia peak is a great place to start here; offering sweeping panoramas of the region’s arid forestry and plains, while there are also curious cultural encounters to be had with the indigenous tribespeople and a smattering of mysterious ancient petroglyphs to evoke the curiosity.

4. Ciudad del Este

Like a Moroccan bazaar, the markets of Ciudad del Este sprawl out along the courses of the Parana River, the sounds of Middle Eastern hagglers and Taiwanese electronics hawkers echoing between the rows and rows of blinking electronics and branded clothes.

Yes sir, there’s a reason why this unashamed hub of the Paraguayan black market is hailed as the ‘Supermarket of the Americas’. Thousands of Brazilians cross over to the town every day to catch bargains amidst the emporiums of Camilo Recalde, while visitors typically make a beeline for the colossal engineering masterpiece that is the Itaipu Dam – another of Paraguay’s major economic generators.

5. Ybycui National Park

Capuchin monkeys swing through the canopies while howlers scale the tree trunks at Ybycui National Park, a small and tight-knit protected section of what’s remaining of the Upper Parana Atlantic Forest.

Most travelers make the relatively short 150 kilometer drive here straight from the capital, eager to see the gushing waterfalls that cascade down through the rocky undergrowth of the forests in steps and plunge pools.

Another attraction are the ruins of a onetime iron foundry, where the forces of the hard-fought Paraguayan War once created weaponry and munitions while hidden in the hills.

6. Yaguaron

This small backwater town set in the shadow of the bulbous cliffs and rocky hills just south of the capital at Asuncion began life as a Spanish mission intended as a settlement spot for the Guarani natives back in the early decades of the 1600s.

Today, and the striking church that was raised by the Europeans here to make their mark still stands on the grassy fields where it did all those centuries ago.

It’s one of the prime examples of the Franciscan tradition in the country, and is a fine cultural addition to an exploration through the exhibition rooms of the nearby Gaspar Rodriguez de Francia Museum – the onetime home of the Paraguayan dictator, located just a stone’s throw away down the road.

Just a short drive from the heart of the buzzing downtown streets of Asuncion, and now almost contiguous with the capital thanks to the ceaseless expansion of its outer suburbs, little, lakeside Aregua is a fine place to go to escape the heat and energy of Paraguay’s only real metropolis.

Travelers can expect a pretty maze of cobbled streets and alleyways where the lingering facades of colonial Spain still stand tall.

This all abuts the waters of Ypacarai Lake, sail boats and ferries heading to San Bernardino forever bobbing on its sky-blue waters.

Then there are the fascinating hexagonal geological formations of the Koi and Chorori hills, looming just on the edge of the city.

Famed for its distinctive tribal art and traditional Paraguayan folk music scene, the small city of Itaugua is a great place to while away a few days as you make your way through the very heart of South America.

Its inner streets come lined with swaying, shady eucalyptus trees and there are countless workshops where it’s possible to buy nanduti – a beautiful and intricate form of Paraguayan embroidery that originated in this region long ago.

Meanwhile, the looming hill of Cerrito offers viewpoints on the edge of town and a smattering of colonial houses offer a glimpse at Itaugua’s deeper, Spanish-influenced past.

9. Filadelfia

Filadelfia sits just on the edge of the Gran Chaco, where the forests and undulating hills of the Region Oriental give way to the great boreal plains that form the very heartlands of the continent as a whole.

That makes this far-flung town – the so-called ‘Capital of the Chaco – a very different place to the small southern cities of Aregua and Itaugua.

But the curiosities don’t stop there either.

Filadelfia is also German speaking, and plays host to the people of the Fernheim Colony, a transplanted Mennonite community that fled here from Stalinist Russia in the 1930s.

Add to that a dairy farm and an earthy agricultural vibe, and you’ve got yourself a truly interesting spot smack bang in the middle of the nation!

10. San Estanislao

Named after a Polish saint, founded by Spanish Jesuits, intended to convert the native Guarani Indian peoples of San Pedro in central Paraguay, and infused with the cultures of immigrants from Italy, Germany and Eastern Europe throughout the last two centuries, the pint-sized yet interesting little stop-off of San Estanislao is like the history of the country writ small.

In the 1800s it boomed with tobacco production, while today soy and pulses are the main crop raised in the surrounding fields.

Travelers can come and see pretty tree-lined plazas and wallow in the bucolic feel of the place, all whilst meeting a lively crowd of students, beers in tow, during the later hours.

11. Concepcion

Located just on the cusp of the Grand Chaco and benefitting from great river connections to the larger cities of the south, Concepcion enjoyed an economic golden age before being plunged into conflict during the Paraguayan War.

Today, its central streets and cobbled alleys still bear all the hallmarks of a colonial outpost that did very well indeed from its various agricultural pursuits.

Visitors embark and disembark from their hop-on, hop-off river cruises up the meanders of the Paraguay River, wonder at the elegant facades and painted Spanish-style churches, and enjoy the sultry tropical airs as they go.

12. La Santisima Trinidad de Parana

Paraguay’s historical piece de resistance can be found set just north of the fun-loving southern hub of Encarnacion, rising from the rolling hills just a stone’s throw from the Parana River.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site (the most-visited in the country no less), the spot is a fine example of a South American Jesuit Reduction.

These would once have peppered the Latin lands from Argentina to Bolivia, and worked to convert the local Indian populations to Christianity in a non-invasive (at least as non-invasive as possible) way.

Nowadays, the site showcases crumbling churches and priests’ living quarters, many adorned with European art works, others complete with a curious intermingling of Indian and Italianesque styles.

This one’s simply not to be missed!

13. San Cosme y Damian

Jutting its way out into the colossal oxbow lakes and flooded plains that swell where the Parana River weaves along the borderline with Argentina to the south, the village of San Cosme y Damian is a real sight to behold.

It comes encompassed by shimmering, palm tree-spotted, yellow-sanded dunes, which ebb and flow across the landscape before plunging down directly into the waters.

There is also an interesting old Jesuit mission situated nearby, while boat trips and hiking excursions across the shores are a great way to explore the otherworldly vistas and shifting sands.

14. San Bernardino

Barred off from the chaos of the capital by the great liquid curve of Lake Ypacarai, San Bernardino has firmly established itself as one of the prime gateways for the moneyed jet setter Asuncenos.

Ferries buzz across several times a day from the outer districts of Aregua, depositing folk on the waterside boulevards of Bernardino, between swaying palm trees and the artificial sand stretches that have been set up there.

Of course, the town has oodles of pubs and discos to let loose in, and partiers flock to the plazas with beers and salsa-ready hips right throughout the summer high season (typically running from December to March).

15. Villarrica

Set in the shadow of the rugged Ybyturuzu highland ridges, Villarrica is a proud and historically rich Paraguayan town; a place where monuments to national heroes pepper the plazas, and some of the country’s most important cultural institutions and traditions are on the line-up.

Take the Maestro Fermin Lopez Museum in the heart of town, which showcases collections of old munitions and arms from the Chaco War next to ancient Indian weaponry.

Then there are the booming Easter celebrations, which erupt on the squares and between the gorgeous Spanish-style towers of the Franciscan church – one seriously handsome relic of the colonial era to say the least!

San Cosme y Damián is a city and district of Paraguay, located in the south of Itapúa. It is important because it belongs to one of the Jesuit Reductions at the time when these clergymen worked in South America for the conversion of the Indians.

The name is a tribute to the Cosme and Damian twins, medical apothecaries who were martyred centuries ago in Sicily, Italy. The Dunes of San Cosme and Damián are one of those paradisiacal places in Paraguay.

Many years ago, they were simply some dunes on top of some hill on the Paraná River, but with the rise of the river, through the reservoir of the Yacyretá Dam, they became like islands of white sands in the middle of the water.

The immensity of these islands will take you back to the image of a desert surrounded by transparent water where, due to the crystalline nature of the lake, you can visualize the fish approaching the very base of the dunes.

These magical caves are located in the town of Vallemí in the Department of Concepción. They are formed by limestone rock as a result of the accumulation of sediments, bones and shells of marine animals of all kinds. These deposits were gradually compacted over millions of years.

These caves are one of the most exotic places in Paraguay because in them you can see the stalactites. These have embroidered a rigid mantle that hangs from the roofs. One of them is more than 6 meters high.

Among the tourist attractions of Paraguay that travelers can find is one of the caves known as the “Crystal Ball”. You can see it if you approach it with a flashlight, the semi-translucent rock formation allows light to pass through it.

Mbatovi Natural Reserve is located in the Serrania de Paraguarí. It is one of the places to visit in Paraguay as a private protected area, preserved by its owners for the protection of biological diversity and natural processes.

It was declared “Of National Tourist Interest” by SENATUR in 2006. Numerous species of birds and a still undetermined variety of reptiles and mammals have been identified in this site. Among them are the agouti paca, the acutí sayju, the aguara’í, the tapití and several species of armadillos.

This is one of the most beautiful places in Paraguay where you can contemplate from a natural balcony the treetops or listen to the dialogue between water and stones. For the more adventurous you can also climb vertical slopes in a moss environment.

And here are the best tourist attractions in Brazil

In addition, in this site you can find a zoo that has more than 70 species of animals, mammals, birds and reptiles. It also has a Natural History museum and a vegetable garden where different species of vegetables and fruits are grown.

Villa Florida is located on the banks of the Tebicuary River, 161 kilometers from the city of Asuncion. It is one of the places of interest in Paraguay where the locals live mainly from commercial and tourist activities linked to the beautiful Tebicuary River.

This bank has coast guards and agents of the National Police to guarantee the security of the vacationers. In addition, this is one of the best places to enjoy as a couple in Paraguay since very close to this beach there are a variety of romantic establishments to spend the night, such as the Cabaña San Francisco.

However, for travelers who prefer to camp can do so in a wooded area that is located a few meters from the beach. In addition, it was founded on September 6, 1880 under the government of General Bernardino Caballero.

12 kilometers from Villa Florida is the museum “Cabañas”, a construction of more than 130 years that belonged to General Atanasio Cabañas, hero in the battle of Cerro Porteño and Tacuary in 1810.

This is one of the most interesting Paraguay tourist attractions because it is said that in previous centuries the Vikings apparently inhabited this region, leaving some traces of their culture.

The Cerro Corá National Park protects some inscriptions on the walls of Cerro Tuyá. It also protects the representative samples of the vegetation of the Amambay ecoregion.

In addition, this site has a visitors’ center, an auditorium for 70 people, a recreational area on the banks of the Aquidabá River, and a lookout point on Cerro Muralla.

It is one of Paraguay’s cultural and tourist attractions since it also includes a beautiful 12-minute projection about Cabeza de Vaca, the first white man to visit the Iguaçu Falls in 1542.

The Top 12 Things to Do in Asunción, Paraguay

With a history dating back to the 1530s, Paraguay's capital city is rife with historical sites, long-held communal practices, and museums documenting the mythology and art of the Indigenous Guarani people. With 65 percent of the current population under 30, though, Asunción is also a city full of new ideas: young people give educational talks and throw parties at cultural centers, boisterous crowds flock to soccer club stadiums to cheer on their favorite teams, and the gastronomy scene is evolving at a rapid pace. Wherever you might go in Paraguay , chances are you’ll end up here at some point, as nearby Silvio Pettirossi International Airport is the main international flight hub. So take a few days and get to know this South American city.

Learn History at the National Pantheon of Heroes

A national mausoleum where the remains of Paraguayan leaders are interred—including the country's first president, Don Carlos Antonio López, and the victor of the Chaco War, Marshal José Félix Estigarribia—the Panteón Nacional de los Héroes (National Pantheon of Heroes) acts as a memorial to Paraguay’s war-torn history. Modeled after the classical and Baroque style of Paris’ Les Invalides, it has a high dome and stained glass windows, with commemorative plaques from the Paraguayan Navy and foreign dignitaries hung throughout its chambers. See the changing of the guard and consider booking a guided tour with the tourist office, located in the historic center.

See Homegrown Art at Museo del Barro

Spend several hours in the Museo del Barro for a crash course on Paraguay’s past and present art scene. Free to the public, it contains three sections focused on Indigenous art, pottery, and contemporary art. Here you can see ñandutí (traditional Paraguayan lace), miniatures of Jesuit reductions, and clay sculptures and vessels from pre-Colombian times. Browse the Indigenous art section to familiarize yourself with some of the country’s Indigenous groups, whose ceremonial clothing, statues, and baskets make up the 1,750 piece-strong collection. After, learn about current art in Paraguay by viewing more than 3,000 contemporary paintings, drawings, and installations. In addition to featuring Paraguayan artists, works of other creatives from throughout South America are displayed as well.

Watch Soccer at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas

See one of Paraguay’s most popular soccer teams, the Club Cerro Porteño, at their home stadium, Estadio General Pablo Rojas. With a record of 38 appearances in the Copa Libertadores and 33 Primera División titles, the team is one of the country’s best—yet their skill isn’t the only reason to attend. Expect fireworks, thundering chants, and high energy commentary from the stands, where 45,000 seats hold diehard fans who call the stadium by its nickname, La Olla (the cooking pot). Tickets to league games can be purchased in the Obrero neighborhood, within several blocks of La Olla.

Wander Loma San Jerónimo's Graffiti Art Alleys

Only a 20-minute walk from the city center lies Loma San Jerónimo, a small, colorful neighborhood of graffiti murals, a literary café , and a staircase adorned with a meta mosaic of Asunción. One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, it is said to have been the site of the founding of Asunción in 1537, and was named after its resident monks of the Order of Jerónimo. Tour the small church, see the city from the mirador (viewing platform), and drink some herb-infused libations at sunset at La Casa del Mojito rooftop bar. Though small, you’ll find many spots to snap pics, lots of traditional houses to observe, and dancing performances on the weekends.

Shop at Mercado 4

Go to Asunción's largest open-air market for souvenirs, electronics, fresh fruits, street food, and traditional Paraguayan dishes like pira caldo (fish stew) and asado with chunks of yucca. Find the stalls with the tea sellers grinding yerba mate with a giant mortar and pestle, and order some tereré (a highly caffeinated cold tea). If you like it, consider purchasing the freshly ground herb, along with your own guampo (a cup shaped like a horn) and bombilla (metal filtered straw) to drink it properly after you leave Paraguay.

Observe Strange Sights at Asunción's Botanical Garden and Zoo

Courtesy of the Botanical Garden and Zoo of Asuncion

While the 270-acre forest of 150-year-old trees at the Jardín Botánico y Zoológico de Asunción (Botanical Garden and Zoo of Asunción) might draw you in, the ground’s natural history museum is what will keep you enthralled. Strange scenes of taxidermy wildlife from the Chaco in their recreated habitats, embalmed animals with various oddities (like two heads), and a large collection of native butterflies will give you a sample of the varied and distinctive wildlife that call the country home. Check out the medicinal plant nursery or Herbarium (seed repository) to learn more about the country’s flora.

Grab a South American Meal at Bolsi

Courtesy of El Bolsi

The only restaurant in Asunción with 24-hour service, El Bolsi is known for serving primarily Paraguayan, Brazilian, and Argentina dishes—and for being a prime people-watching spot. Toeing the line between casual and sleek, the best seats are at the counter, where you'll get views of the whole restaurant. Order a crispy yet soft coxinha (shredded chicken that's breaded then fried into a cone), plump salmon sashimi, or fudgy carrot cake. With fresh ingredients, vegan and vegetarian options, and seasonal specials, El Bolsi delivers good food at affordable prices.

Photograph the López Presidential Palace

Deeply tied to the history of the country and currently its seat of government, the Palacio de los López stands on the Costanera del Río Paraguay. Construction started in 1857, with the pink palace intended to be the home of Paraguay’s second president, General Francisco Solano López. The Neoclassical building incorporated the finest of Paraguay’s raw materials—Emboscada stone, Ybycuí iron, and Yaguarón wood—and was still under construction when López left to fight the War of the Triple Alliance (from which he would not return). Today, you can only tour the inside of the building on national holidays in May and August. However, you can take a picture of the exterior at any time; head across the street to Casa Viola's balcony for the best angle.

Retrace Revolutionary Steps at the Casa de la Independencia

The focal point for the planning and commencement of Paraguay’s independence from Spanish rule, the Casa de la Independencia (Independence House) is now a small museum commemorating the saga of the Martínez Sáenz-Caballero de Bazán family and their revolutionary associates. Take the free guided tour to learn how the revolutionaries strong-armed the governor into agreeing to independence in 1811. During your visit, you'll see clandestine documents, stately clothes from the 19th century, an odd toilet, and various paintings and busts of prominent Paraguayan historical figures. Take note of the alley outside, as it was the route the revolutionaries ran down to confront the governor the day independence was declared.

Go to a Mixer at a Cultural Center

Courtesy of Dracena

Centro culturales (cultural centers) dot the city, showcasing concerts, educational talks, traditional dance, and international cultural encounters—and they’re usually free to attend. Some spaces, like the Centro Cultural de España Juan de Salazar , focus on disseminating information about specific countries, while others boost creative practices, like Drácena and its regular jazz shows. Meanwhile, one of the most popular cultural centers, Manzana de la Rivera , contains a library, theater, café, and museum in a restored city block. It's best to attend a mixer here at night to enjoy not only the space and event, but the lights of the López Presidential Palace, glowing across the street.

Learn to Speak Guaraní

Studying language helps to understand culture, meaning you’ll want to learn two languages to better know Paraguay: Spanish and Guaraní. The country claims both as its official languages, and both can be studied at IDIPAR, a language school operating since 1982. Take a course for one to four weeks, or do the monthly option (time permitting). Offering online classes as well as in-person private, semi-private, and group classes, the school can also set up a homestay and host meals for you to try traditional Paraguayan food with local families.

Ride on the Río Paraguay

Head across the Paraguay River to the town of Chaco-í. Once the abode of Asunción’s wealthy, it's now a humble settlement where goats run through the streets and mom-and-pop shops sell homemade dulce de leche and Paraguayan cheese. Some residents run boats to and from Asunción, but you can also hire a fisherman to take you across. Once back, promenade along La Costanera (Asunción’s Riverwalk) and check out the abandoned port with its poetic rusty cranes. Throughout the excursion, be on the lookout for the area’s many birds, who use the river as a water source. Paraguay has nearly 700 avian species, making the capital a dream for birdwatchers.

Iguaçu Falls

One of the greatest natural wonders of the world, Iguaçu Falls are shared among Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. To visit the falls, you have to go through the town of Ciudad del Este, the second largest city in Paraguay with not much in the way of conventional attractions, but plenty of shopping opportunities (especially for contraband and cheap goods). The city is also great if you want to try some good and affordable local food.

Iguaçu Falls are just across the river from Ciudad del Este, so the town is a good base for exploring the falls. You can also discover the surrounding nature from the town and go on long walks, hiking or even a camping tour if you are adventurous enough. But do not worry, as the city is rather affordable, you will not necessarily have to spend your vacation in a tent.

The legend says, that the monstrous snake Boi lived in the  Iguaçu river.

Once per year a beautiful maid had to be sacrificed to Boi, by throwing her into the river.

When Tarobá, the tribes chief learned, that the beautiful maid Naipí was chosen for the sacrifice, rebelled to the elderly members of the tribe trying to save the girls life.

In order to save Naipí, he decided to kidnap her the night before the sacrifice. So he put her on a canoe and escaped by the river.

Boi saw this; in her anger she split the river forming the falls catching Naipí and Tarobá.

Boi turned Tarobá into trees, visible from the upper circuit, and the long, dense hair of the beautiful Naipí into the falls.

Boi dived in the Devil’s Throat. She watches from here Naipí and Tarobá never come together again.

On sunny days the rainbow surpasses Boi’s  power and join them.

If you are in the mood for some eco-travel, you should definitely explore the untainted wilderness of Gran Chaco, which has been virtually untouched by tourism for a long time. The region is sparsely populated, and only about 3% of the population of the country lives in the area, but the few towns and cities have small pockets of colonial architecture and they offer plenty of opportunities to discover the culture and traditions of the Guarani people.

Nature lovers shouldn’t miss the Parque Nacional Defensores del Chaco, with its vast thorn forest teeming with wildlife (it’s better to visit it as part of a tour to avoid being eaten by pumas, jaguars or ocelots). deforestation has been a problem on the Gran Chaco plain for some time, which is sad, but you will still find its raw beauty admirable.

The small town of Yaguarón is not far from the capital, only about 30 km away (about 18 miles), and it is a great destination for a couple of relaxing days at least. The most important landmark in the town is the quaint little church called Iglesia San Buenaventura, built in the 17th century by Franciscan missionaries coming to the area. The altar of the church is beautifully hand carved by native artists of the era and is a great example of the Hispanic-Guarani artistic style.

If you’re interested in the history of the country, visit the José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia museum, the birthplace of the dictator. You can see here displayed many of the personal items of Garcia and his family as well as other objects from the era.

You might also want to walk up to the top of Yaguaron Hill, to the oratory that offers a breathtaking view over the surrounding area. According to the legend the hill also guards the footprints of Saint Thomas.

Start your Paraguay vacation by discovering the capital city of Asuncion, but if you have the opportunity do not stop there, but wander further into this wild and beautiful country.

Moscow metro to be more tourist-friendly

For many years now, Moscow has lagged behind St. Petersburg when it comes to making life easy for tourists, especially where getting around the city is concerned. Whereas the northern capital installed English-language maps, signs and information points throughout its subway system in the late 2000s, the Russian capital’s metro remained a serious challenge for foreign visitors to navigate.

Recent visitors to Moscow may have noticed some signs that change is afoot, however. In many stations of the Moscow subway, signs have appeared on the floor – with large lettering in Russian and English – indicating the direction to follow in order to change lines. Previously, foreign visitors using the Moscow metro had to rely solely upon deciphering the Russian-language signs hanging from the ceilings.

Student volunteers help tourists find their way in Moscow

However, this new solution has a significant drawback. “The floor navigation is visible only to a small stream of people – fewer than three people per meter. During peak hours, this navigation will simply not be noticed,” said Konstantin Trofimenko, Director of the Center for Urban Transportation Studies.

One of the biggest problems for tourists in the Russian capital remains the absence of English translations of the names of subway stations in the station vestibules and on platforms. The Department of Transportation in Moscow has not commented yet as to when this problem will be solved. However, Latin transliterations of station names can already be found in the subway cars themselves.

Finding the right exit

At four of the central stations – Okhotny Ryad, Teatralnaya, Ploshchad Revolyutsii, Lubyanka and Kuznetsky Most – the city authorities have now installed colorful stands at the exits with schematic diagrams of the station’s concourse and surrounding area, which provide information about the main attractions and infrastructural facilities.

The schematic diagrams are the work of British specialists from the City ID and Billings Jackson Design firms, who have already implemented successful projects in New York and London.

According to Alexei Novichkov, expert at the Design Laboratory at the Higher School of Economics, the design of these information booths raises no objections: The color solutions, font, layout and icons are consistent with international standards.

However, the stands do have some shortcomings. “Many questions are raised about the fact that the developers of these maps did not apply orientation to the north, and have provided layouts of the surrounding areas with respect to the exits,” says Novichkov. “A system like that is used for road navigators, but most of the ‘paper’ guides and maps are oriented strictly to north. The subway map is also oriented to north, so people may become confused.”

Muscovites and foreign visitors are generally positive about these navigation elements, with most of them citing the numbered exits from the subway as the most useful feature.

The fact is that many Moscow subway stations have several exits. One of the busiest central stations of the Moscow subway in particular, Kitay-Gorod, has more than a dozen exits. Previously, these exits were differentiated from each other only with signs in Russian referring to the names of streets and places of interest to which they led – making it easy for tourists and those with poor navigation skills to get confused.

Now, when making an appointment to meet a friend, instead of struggling to find the right spot when they tell you: “I'll meet you at the exit to Solyanka Street,” you can just propose to meet under a specific exit number.

“I’ve lived in Moscow for seven years,” says Angelika, a designer from Voronezh, “but I still don’t always know where to go to find the place I need, so the new schematic diagrams will be very useful. Previously, some subway stations had maps, but not with so much detail.”

Teething problems

Foreigners, meanwhile, focus their attention on other elements. “It is good that the new information boards have QR-codes, which can be ‘read’ by smartphones,” says Florentina, a writer from Vienna. But there are also shortcomings. “The English font of the information on posters and in the captions to theaters and museums is too small – you have to come very close to see it well,” she says.

Pleasant encounters on the streets of Moscow

Florentina was also dissatisfied with the fact that such posters are not provided at all subway stations: “When I was trying to find Tsaritsyno Park (a museum and reserve in the south of Moscow) at a subway station with the same name, it turned out to be quite difficult,” she says.

“There are no maps with landmarks for other areas, such as those already in the city center. There were no clear pointers in the English language, and the passers-by I met did not speak in English, so they could not help me,” she adds.

Officials say that the navigation system is gradually being redeveloped and improved. According to Darya Chuvasheva, a press representative for the Department of Transport of Moscow, the introduction of a unified navigation system will take place in stages.

“By the end of 2014, the system will first appear on the first subway stations on the Circle Line. By the end of 2015, we plan to install the system at all major stopping points, subway stations and transport interchange hubs,” says Chuvasheva.
