After a 16 hr bus ride from Sao Paulo, I arrived in Foz de Iguazu, Brazil, one of the three cities on the tripple frontera (where the three borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet). So, as according to plan, I crossed the border into Paraguay just to see what this coutry was all about. …

Paraguay was not how I had ever imagined it. But then, I do not think I actually visualized Paraguay at all. As a habit, I think Americans tend to group the nations of South America into one. This ignorant tendency seems to stem from the fact that aside from Brazil, South America has a common langu…

The best thing about Paraguay is the soup on the sidewalk café. After walking around, a warm bowl of broth was just what I needed to sit for a second and take the whole thing in. By that point I was overflowing with visual intake and needed time to reflect. I had just come out of Monalisa after…

I decided to take a few days and visit Paraguay. People on my travels have told me so far not to bother with it, but then none of them have actually visited. I took a bus from the centre of Foz do Iguacu across to Cuidad del este. You have to get off at customs as the bus doesnt stop for you! It …

2 days in Asuncion, Paraguay!

En en aeropuerto de Iguazu nos dan la noticia esperada : sigue la huelga, el vuelo previsto tiene varias horas de retraso y no es seguro que salga. Por eso, por haber una oportunidad saliendo desde la vecina Ciudad del Este, en Paraguay, vamos hacia alla. Llevamos el tiempo casi justo, y por eso, p…

The five to six hour bus ride from Ciudad del Este to Asuncion was appallingly slow. Even after leaving Ciudad del Este the bus stopped in a dirt lot on the outskirts of the city for almost an hour while we took on more and more passengers and hawkers crowded outside the bus and walked the aisles. …

And just when we thought the nightmare was over . . . Nope we still had to travel another 5 hours through Bolivian territory before finally stepping foot on Paraguayan soil. It´s actually quite an odd set-up they have there. Again the roads were horrendous on the Bolivian side, and the drive was…

I went with a program called Amigos de las Americas to volunteer in Paraguay for two months. It was there that I taught classes on health to children betweeen eight and twelve. It was an amazing experience and it's opened my interests to Latin America, specifically South America.

I wanted to go back to argentina to do this nature trail but was told it wasn't worth crossing the border for. Today the germans were all going to this big dam, and the french girls were going to Paraguay. The tours of the dam don't start until the afternoon, and I need a fatter memory card fo…

From Buenos Aires, we were traveling to next Iguacu Falls. We'd see them from the Brazilian side, but there were no direct flights from Buenos Aires. That proved to be a bonus, because we had to change flights in Ascuncion, Paraguay. The long layover in Ascuncion, over seven hours, would …

Welcome to my Travel Blog. I will be travelling from Vancouver on the 16th of April with a short stopover in Santa Barbara then on to Guatemala on April 19th and then by land south to Argentina and flying out of Rio de Janeiro Brazil on August 27th.

Na een bijna 24 uur durende reis vanaf Salta naar Asuncion, waarbij het eerste deel van 18 uur nog vrij relaxt gaat in een nachtbus, hebben we vanaf de grens drie verschillende lokale bussen nodig om in het centrum van Asuncion te komen, dit in een temperatuur die boven de 40 graden uitkomt... …

            My first trip to Paraguay may also have been my final one.  Whether it was the lax security at the Brazil-Paraguay border, the open air market feel to the city, the constant paranoia of being ripped off, the questionable va…

For everyone who thinks of government as a nightmare and for those who pray to the bible of Laisser-faire, Ciudade del Este, Paraguay is your paradisio. With a population estimated at near 140,000 this small town on the Paraguayan border with Brazil, a bridge away from the Brazilian tourism …
