Travel Blogs from Paraguay
This is pretty nice.
This is a top pick! ... visiting Itaipu Dam, the largest hydro-electric power plant in the world, located on the Parana River between Brazil and Paraguay. It's a joint Brazilian-Paraguayan venture that generates about 80% of Paraguay's entire demand and 25% of Brazil's. Pretty ...
Illegal Immigrants
This is a top pick! ... This corner of South America is known as pretty much one of the dodgiest on the continent due to Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay all essentially sharing a border where two rivers meet. This proximity and also being near to the jungle means LOTS of ...
Rio via Asuncion
This is a top pick! ... Rio de Janeiro and then heading down into Argentina and Chile. Our original plan included a few days in Paraguay but we are going to head straight to Rio and maybe head back into Paraguay later on, so this visit only included the airport at ...
About a girl, the most gorgeous girl.
This is a top pick! ... at least will mail her. He is right, he made a major mess didn't he? That's tonight's love story from Encarnación, Paraguay. Heartbreaking isn't it. We'll leave you with Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game." Goodnight and sleep tight from Radio Itapúa ...
I screwed Gangsterville.
This is a top pick! ... made a mistake. Forgot a zero or something. But no, it just plain and simply cheap here. Hence the title "I screwed Gangsterville". Paraguay is poor, in fact one of the poorest in Latin America. But you still see tons of souped-up Merzedes Benz, BMW ...
Itaipu Dam - Brazil and Paraguay
This is a top pick! ... : CN Tower, Toronto, Empire State Building, New York; Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco; Panama Canal, Panama; Itaipu Dam, Brazil/Paraguay; Chunnel, England/France; North Sea Protection Works. When we realised we would see so many we decided to spend an ...
Six months on the road.
This is a top pick! I'm in Trinidad, an UNESCO World Heritage site in southern Paraguay, close to the border with Argentina. It's a site containing ruins of an old Jesuit mission. That's all I can say I'm afraid, as I'm not really an expert in the area. The whole place is ...
Devil's Throat walkway.
This is a top pick! So I am back at Iguazu Falls for the second time in less than nine months. Being in Florianópolis on our way towards Buenos Aires, there's no way we can skip taking the detour (I'm not even sure it is a detour) inland to visit these wonderful ...
Touring the Jesuit Missions
This is a top pick! ... square which is high up in the town with a lot of mainstream shops. We wandered around for ages to find camera shops (Paraguay is v cheap for electronics which is a blessing in disguise as we needed a new camera) and eventually found hundreds of them in ...
Bring on the beast...
This is a top pick! "Bring on the Beast!" yells an Australian-Chinese-Indonesian - strapped into a powerboat on the mighty Rio Parana. There are screams and squeals - vocal adrenalin - all around as the boat heads towards the base of the largest of the mighty, tremendous ...
Almost Didn't Make That One!
This is a top pick! ... get accurate information about the status of the road south from Santa Cruz, and the possibility of then heading east directly into Paraguay. We were generally met with blank stares whenever we asked at tourist offices or travel agencies, and even at the ...
Water water everywhere
This is a top pick! ... here, the Iguassu and the Parana, and the middle of the junction is the point where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet - the so called triple frontier . Reading something about this area on the internet, it seems that George ...
A helluva lot of water!
This is a top pick! ... 36 hours through Europe and America. A very funny incident! Iguaçu falls are right on the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay and there´s a point where you can see all 3 countries. From the Brazilian side you get the far off ´all ...
Three Countries In A Day.
This is a top pick! ... amazing world class attraction of Iguazu falls is quite unique in that it divides and creates the borders of three countries, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Due to this it is possible to do a day trip that places you in three countries in one day. It is ...
The Waterfall That Wasn't
This is a top pick! Expectations were high! Our well-thumbed copy of the Argentina Lonely Planet described Iguazú Falls under the Highlights Section as...."probably South America's most breathtaking sight....the cascades flow with incredible beauty, stretched in tiered ...
Asuncion
This is a top pick! ... the passengers are literally tripping over one another. After the typical South American bus experience, we expected that Asuncion, Paraguay's capital, would be a typically chaotic South American city. We couldn't have been more wrong. In fact, ...
Back on the Straight and Narrow
This is a top pick! ... cleaning. Filadelfia itself is one of three Mennonite colonies that were established in the Gran Chaco area of northern Paraguay early in the twentieth century. Fleeing religious prosecution in Russia, Germany and even Canada, many Mennonites took ...
Another Ciòn
This is a top pick! ... the town on the Argentinian side and visit the Jesuit ruins there instead. Things I Learned * It only ever pours torrential rain in Paraguay * I shouldn`t feel it my duty to polish off a box of chocolate bon bons in 24 hours * I can read the Spanish ...
The Puzzling Paradox of Paraguay
This is a top pick! ... no doubt have also been very useful. The Jesuits established many missions in the upper Paraná region of present-day Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, and the area just east of Encarnación has some strikingly impressive and extensive ruins at Trinidad ...
Slimming Down
This is a top pick! Unfortunately that would be my backpack, not me. Although come to think of it, I wouldn´t want to post home my excess personal kilos only to have them reunited with me at home. Back in the Capital Asunciòn is a whole lot better the second time ...
One Big Dam
This is a top pick! ... to wait in a line, despite the fact that there were hundreds of people streaming across the bridge and walking casually into Paraguay. Luckily I figured that I needed to walk on the righthand side of the bridge, and was passed by lots of people looking ...
Another Tourist Train
This is a top pick! ... that this was fast becoming my favourite country for the genuine and friendly people and the relaxed, rural lifestyle. Things I Learned * Paraguay should be renamed Paraguapo for all the good looking people here (guapo means good looking) * You don`t ...
Not doing anything
This is a top pick! ... feel my bankcard yelping. Also, swung by the Postal Museum. Dull really - I`m no philatelic. I wouldn`t have thought that Paraguay had ever seen snow, let alone have competitors, so why would they produce Winter Olympics stamps? Things I Learned * ...
A wet but warm welcome
This is a top pick! ... a sense of humour, adventure and low expectations!! Getting Here So many people have said to me, "Why do you want to go to Paraguay? There is nothing there and no tourists" Well, I`m loving the fact that there are hardly any other tourists and I don`t ...
In Iguazu w/ very limited Internet Access
This is a top pick! Iguazu Falls - 4/12 through 4/15 Will update later but we are having a great time and have incredible pictures and stories but unfortunately the internet connection is slower than AOL on dial up. Love you all will update travelpod as soon as ...
The Land the World Forgot
This is a top pick! ... country is landlocked, flat, small and has lots of mosquitoes. Tourism does not seem to be a particularly promising business for Paraguay. There were several large (peaceful) protests going on while we were there. I did a couple of news searches on ...
Bump in the Night
This is a top pick! ... tying. Despite all of Dad`s persistent and careful instruction over the years, I really have no idea. Another Boat Trip Rio Paraguay beckoned. Not quite as strongly as I originally thought, but it called me to the port and I asked some questions and ...
Iguazu Falls
This is a top pick! 4-13-2007 Iguazu Falls Jose: Iguazu Falls was amazing and we took so many pictures it was ridiculous. The pictures we are going to upload are the highlights of Iguazu we have easy 3 to 4 times the amount of pictures that we are not uploading. ...
