Paraguay                                                  

 

Paraguay is a landlocked country bordered by Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the east and northeast and Bolivia to the northwest. Due to its central location in South America, it is sometimes referred to as the Corazón de América — Heart of America.

From small colonial cities to dense forests, jungles to national parks, untamed wilderness to Jesuit missions, Paraguay really is a fascinating mix waiting to be explored. And despite all this, it is argued by those fortunate enough to have been there that it's the Paraguayans themselves who make this such a unique experience through their kind, welcoming and often inquisitive ways.
