Things to Do in Paraguay: Local Guide
South America's hidden heartland is one of the continent's least visited countries, offering the Jesuit Missions of the Trinity UNESCO ruins, the indigenous Guaraní culture, and the vast Pantanal wetland extending from Brazil. Asunción's Palacio de López, the Itaipu Dam, and the traditional craft towns of the Circuito de Oro reward patient explorers.
