📣 Traveler notes
Paraguay offers visitors experiences in colonial history, mission ruins, and vast wilderness, characterized by rivers and a blend of European and indigenous cultures.
- Areté Guazú festival: A three-day indigenous celebration held between February and March in various locations.
- Expo Rodeo Trébol: The largest rodeo and expo, typically held mid-August in Loma Plata.
- Transchaco rally: A major sports event in the Central Chaco Region toward the end of September.
- Punctuality is often flexible; expect minor delays. Greetings usually involve a handshake between men, or kisses on each cheek among mixed genders or two women.
