Explore one of South America’s lesser-visited travel destinations, a country of unexpected attractions, history, and wildlife.
Spending time in the great outdoors is one of the best things to do in Paraguay. Take a trip to the tropical confluence where the Iguazu and Paraguay Rivers meet, before marveling at the great Iguazu Falls itself on an unforgettable tour.
Other natural wonders in Paraguay include Ypacaraí Lake, tranquil Ybycuí National Park, Cerro Tres Kandú peak and the supremely impressive Guaíra and Monday’s Falls. All of these areas—and more—allow for scenic hikes and photo tours, birdwatching walks and horse-riding trails among Paraguay’s pristine wilderness.
From adventure and exploration to the many more highlights of Paraguay, including the 16thcentury architecture of Asunción, Palacio de López and UNESCO World Heritage Sites of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Ruinas Jesuiticas de Jesús de Tavarangué.
Modern-day cultural heritage can then be glimpsed while staying on a working estancia in Paraguay, where cowboy lifestyle is alive and well and makes for an enchanting addition to any trip. And with vibrant bars and restaurants to be found around the capital, Asunción, and Encarnación too, you may find more than you’d expect from your tailormade tour of Paraguay, with Atelier.
