Jour de la victoire de Boquerón

📣 Conseils aux voyageurs

Paraguay, situated in central South America, is characterized by its large rivers, green landscapes, and blend of European and indigenous cultures. Visitors can experience colonial history, mission ruins, vast wilderness, and deep cultural immersion, despite having fewer internationally famous attractions and tourist facilities.

• Areté Guazú (Big Festival): An indigenous three-day celebration typically held between February and March in locations like Filadelfia and Mariscal Estigarribia.
• Expo Rodeo Trébol: The largest rodeo and exhibition event in the Chaco, held around mid-August in Loma Plata.
• Transchaco rally: A major sporting event in the Central Chaco Region, usually taking place in late September.
• Punctuality is flexible; expect a 10–20 minute delay for appointments. Greetings usually involve men shaking hands, and women/men or women giving two cheek kisses. Always reciprocate greetings positively. Showing sincere interest in the local culture and history is appreciated. Handle sensitive topics, such as the history of the military dictatorship (1954–1989), with extreme care and respect.
