How They Dazzle Us
Paraguay is one of only two landlocked countries in South America, with an unusually large navy considering they have no coastline. In fact, they have the largest navy on any landlocked country. Paraguay is a land of breath-taking natural and architectural beauty. It is not without its problems though, and similarly to neighbouring Brazil, it has a huge disparity in their wealth distribution. It’s estimated that 80% of the land is held by 2.5% of the population and 161 people control 90% of the country’s wealth.

Why We Love Them

The country receives 99.9% of its electricity from hydroelectric plants with 75% of that coming from the Itaipu Dam on the Paraná River. The dam is shared with Brazil and is the world’s second largest hydroelectric plant.

Best Time to Visit

If you’re looking for a bit more quiet, then May to August offers fewer crowds and lower temperatures.
