Paraguay Holidays

Land-locked in the middle of South America, Paraguay is often overlooked in favour of its more familiar neighbouring countries, but those who do reach its lush landscapes are rewarded with an authentic Latin American experience.

The diversity of Paraguay is no better showcased than its capital, Asuncion. Here, amongst the Beaux-Arts architecture and the modern plazas, you will still find an ambience that belongs to a century, long-gone. Horse and carts are still commonplace and tiny artisan market stalls fill the pockets of space between the high-rise buildings.

Head out of the capital and you will find a wealth of national parks waiting to be discovered. The Chaco is the most popular, a vast, dry wilderness where you can meet isolated Mennonite communities and observe a variety of wildlife species including jaguars, flamingos, ocelots and armadillos.  

Encarnacion in southern Paraguay, is a pleasant colonial city with a few cultural and historic delights and is a gateway to explore the UNESCO-protected remnants of the Jesuit Missions, picturesquely located atop a lush green hillock with 360⁰ vistas of the surrounding countryside
