About Paraguay

Paraguay sits in the middle of South America, divided by the Paraguay River into the dry western Chaco and the greener, more populated east. Asuncion holds the colonial core and riverside life, the Jesuit missions of Trinidad and Jesus draw travellers south, and the wetlands of the upper Paraguay add wildlife. The cooler, drier months from May to September suit most visits; summer is hot and humid with heavy rain, while the Chaco is hottest of all.

The Itaipú dam on the Paraná is one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the world.
