Paraguay

A landlocked country in central South America, whose charm lies in its Jesuit mission ruins, the Itaipú hydroelectric dam and Guaraní culture.

Paraguay lies in central South America and is a landlocked country; the Paraguay River divides it into the humid hills and plains of the east and the vast, arid Gran Chaco region of the west. Spanish and Guaraní are both official languages, and iced yerba mate, known as tereré, is part of daily life. Highlights include the colonial architecture of the capital, Asunción, the World Heritage Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangué in Itapúa, and the Itaipú hydroelectric dam built jointly with Brazil. Summers are hot, and the climate is more comfortable from April to October. The main gateway is Silvio Pettirossi International Airport in Asunción.
