Things to do in Paraguay

There are many things to do in Paraguay. It is landlocked in the center of South America and known for its off the beaten path activities such as wildlife watching in the Chaco. The Chaco is a semi-arid region where travelers can enjoy seeing a variety of large birds, snakes, wild hogs, and jaguars. In addition to the wildlife opportunities, Paraguay tourism is centered around history with the Jesuit Missions in the southern region dating back to 1609. These once extravagant cathedrals and residences were built by missionaries from Europe. Tours are offered to explore the beautifully constructed monuments that are still standing today, testifying to the historic and cultural richness of the country. Travelers also enjoy visiting the capital city, Asuncion, for its quintessential colonial architecture, important landmarks, and national museums.

Places to Visit in Paraguay

There are places to visit in Paraguay for any age! Though small, this sometimes forgotten country is now considered one of South America’s greatest charms. From the bustling atmosphere of the city’s capital Asuncion to the exclusive sandy beaches, you are sure to get a taste of everything when visiting this country.

Asuncion Tours

Asuncion could be described as South America’s undiscovered capital. It is likely to be the start or endpoint for any tour of Paraguay. While there are not really any absolute must-see destinations, that is part of the charm of visiting Paraguay. It is a good place to soak up the atmosphere, visit shady plazas and historic buildings and meet friendly people. In Asunción, brush up on your history with visits to Casa de la Independencia, Palacio de Gobierno, and Panteón Nacional de Los Héroes. At night, Asunción’s contemporary scene won’t let you down. Britannia Pub is well known for their extensive beer selection, while Casa Clari and Pirata are ideal for a laid-back cocktail lounge or some live music.

If Asunción wasn’t enough history for you, check out Jesuit Missions tour of La Santisima Trinidad de Parana. The Jesuit Missions are the remaining treasures of small colonies that were established by Jesuit missionaries in the 17th century. Walking through the ruins allows you to visualize first-handed how the Jesuits accomplished building small communities.

The Chaco Region

Our Asuncion, Chaco, and Iguazu Falls Paraguay Tour is a comprehensive look at all that Paraguay has to offer. On this 11-day tour, visit different places in Paraguay which played an important part in the Paraguayan-Germany history, as well as beautiful natural landscapes like Iguazu Falls. An adventure to a Paraguayan Estancia in the Chaco region is a favorite amongst many, due to the horseback riding and wide-open spaces that you are sure to experience. You will also see the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam and the Jesuit Missions, two major places in Paraguay.

Paraguay Tours & Travel FAQ’s

Thinking about a Paraguay trip? Here’s a list of frequently asked questions we often hear from our guests. Visit our Paraguay Vacation Planning page for in-depth Paraguay travel tips.

What is the best time to visit Paraguay?

Paraguay is in the heart of South America and has three distinct seasons. Largely, the country maintains a warm, humid climate with the exception of winter (June – August) where the season is dryer and has slightly cooler temperatures. However, even at this point in the year, the weather is fairly warm.

For travelers looking to avoid humidity, the best time to visit Paraguay is from April to September. During this time, the weather is mild and there are plenty of festivals for guests to experience. We also recommend avoiding the summer months (October – March). Temperatures are also very hot at this time, which can make outdoor exploring uncomfortable.

Do I need vaccinations for Paraguay?

The Centers for Disease Control requires travelers to be up to date with their measles and routine vaccines. It is also suggested that you receive the Hepatitis A and Typhoid vaccine prior to your visit to Paraguay.

However, it is highly recommended that you consult with your primary doctor or local travel clinic in regards to receiving any vaccinations for travel to Paraguay or any other destination in South America.

Is Paraguay a good honeymoon destination?

For those looking for the ultimate honeymoon getaway or romantic vacation, travel to Paraguay, where the Chaco Desert and the Pantanal Wetlands offer some of the most remote landscapes and outdoor activities. Also highly recommended for honeymooners is cruising down the Paraguay River. Laze away the days, as you and your sweetheart fish, hike, relax aboard and visit with local communities along the way.

Is it safe to travel in Paraguay?

Yes, Paraguay is a very safe place for tourists. To travel within Paraguay consider taking a car and driver for those situations when you need somebody who speaks only Guarani, which is the second language in Paraguay. Review more safety tips on our Paraguay Safety page.
