Ciudad Del Este Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Crossing the friendship bridge from Brazil is a very simple task involving no customs or even passports, although a certain number of cars crossing the border are pulled over and checked, for us it was a simple task and the first difference about Paraguay that strikes you is the poverty, not the same kind of poverty as India and China, not as de...

We had an uneventful bus trip through to Ciudad Del Este on the border of Paraguay and Brazil, but we drove through some beautiful countryside en route. There are only a couple of hotels to choose from, one of which was a bit minging so we went for the slightly more expensive but much nicer one that also included a wicked breakfast. You have to ...

Today Andrea's father, who works at Itaipu, managed for someone to pick me up and take me to the hydroelectric plant. It's the hydroelectric plant that generates the most energy in the world, I think they said it now achieved around 14 million killowatt hours or something crazy like that. I don't think it's the largest anymore, which is the Chin...

After arriving at Puerto Iguzu, which is the small Argentine border town near to Iguzu Falls, we had a day to soak up the place. It was a far cry from cosmopolitan BA, a small town which was surrounded by the jungle and covered in red earth everywhere. The town is bordered by the river Pirana, and Iguzu, which divides Brazil, Paraguay and Argent...

After crossing the bridge from Brazil to Cudad del Este, we saw the Paraguayan half of the free enterprise zone. Ciudad Del Este is (in)famous for being a bootlegging town. We spent the better half of the evening at the bus station waiting for an overnight bus to Asuncion so we wouldn´t have to shell out for a hotel. There were a couple of flaws...

The place where we grabbed our bus to Rio De Janeiro

Hello hello, just a quick one to keep things rolling after being so freaking lazy in BA. I am now officially down with illegal immigration, and can now and forever say I have SNUCK INTO a small Latin American country. This corner of South America is known as pretty much one of the dodgiest on the continent due to Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay ...
