Paraguay couldn't be found in the list of the most famous travel destinations on the planet, but it is rich in great Paraguay hotels, natural elegance and fascinating culture. This landlocked country is a place of contrasts, with untamed plains, marshes, lagoons, dense forests, and jungles, and welcoming towns and cities. Here is the list of the major sights that will catch the eyes of visitors.
1.Asuncion- The capital of Paraguay is really amazing with its attractive colonial architecture and other cultural attractions. It's one of the most fascinating destinations in the country, in which you'll find an incredible number of hotels in Paraguay providing wonderful accommodation options. Despite the fact that it has few ‘traditional’ sights like beaches, skyscrapers or impressive parks, it has an unmistakable atmosphere that will bind you with its spell. The Municipal Museum plus the Visual Arts Museum are not very large, but they've some interesting and even unusual exhibits. In case you are enthusiastic about architecture, check out the building of the National Congress, probably the most impressive constructions in the capital.
2.Encarnacion- Encarnacion isn't an excellent destination by itself, but the nearby Jesuit missions of La Santisima Trinidad de Parana and Jesus de Tavarangue are World Heritage Site and so they are well worth visiting. The ruins are not very extensive, but they are undoubtedly gorgeous. The missions date back to the early 17th century, and these are some of the most significant religious creations of the Jesuits not just in Paraguay, but the whole of South America.
3.Iguaçu Falls- One of the greatest natural wonders of the world, Iguaçu Falls are located in the meeting point among Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. To go to the falls, you have to go through the town of Ciudad del Este, which provides plenty of shopping opportunities especially low cost goods. Iguaçu Falls are just across the river Ciudad del Este, so the town is a good base for exploring the falls.
4.Gran Chaco-if you're enthusiastic about some eco-travel, you have to definitely explore the untainted wilderness of Gran Chaco, which has been virtually untouched by tourism for a long time. The region is sparsely populated, and only about 3% of the population of the country lives in the area. However, the few towns and cities have colonial architecture and they provide a number of opportunities to discover the culture and traditions of the Guarani people. Nature fans shouldn’t miss the Parque Nacional Defensores del Chaco, with its extensive thorn forest teeming with wildlife.
