Nowadays Paraguay is getting much popular destination among the international travelers. This incredible country definitely has a lot to offer to its visitors- perfect weather, a lot of attractions and of course comfortable Paraguay hotels.

If you are preparing a visit to this amazing county listed below are some tips that you will need.

1.Don’t plan each minute of your travel- be just a little bit adaptable. In Paraguay, as in other “underdeveloped” nations, departure and arrival times are approximate and highly depend on the traffic. This is especially important to confirm bus itineraries as things could possibly change like weather for example. Be sure your travel plans involve some room in a hotel in Paraguay to compensate for damaged down buses or missed connections.

2.Check the local weather:

In Paraguay people rise early to make the most of the cool morning hours. Once the sun is at its strongest it is time for a siesta. Even in urban regions many companies close for lunch/siesta. So it could be far better to take a break during the day’s hottest hours. You have availability to choose from an air-conditioned restaurant, cafe, or a walk in a shady plaza. The rain is usually another disaster for your holiday. It really can affect the road conditions. In areas with cobblestone or asphalted roads a rainstorm can mean several hours of flooded streets.

3.Talk as much as you can to the local people:

The local people in Paraguay could be a natural resource of information. They are able to provide you with rather good suggestions about tourist attractions and accommodation in Paraguay. Of course it would be far better to book online your Paraguay hotelinstead of trying to find a place to stay as soon as you arrive. When requesting information you should be prepared for some preliminary chit-chatting. Obviously you will find always people that prefer to provide a made up answer than no answer at all. Directions that end in “and ask for directions once more there” are frequent. It's a good idea to ask several people and weight your conclusions accordingly. Also don't forget that a majority of Paraguayans don't have constant internet access but almost everyone has a mobile phone. In case you can't ask in person and need a quick response calling or text-messaging is preferable to email.

4.Learn some Guarani words:

It can be great if you can study a couple of words in Spanish. This will send the sign that you're enthusiastic about the culture and get you mega brownie points. A well timed “ndaipori problema” (meaning “no problem” or “it’s all good”) is guaranteed to elicit a smile, at the very least.

5.Visit the countryside:

Actually, in Paraguay, as in the rest of the world, there is a great difference between life in urban and rural areas. Especially in well-off areas, Asunción is a world away from the rest of the country. So by visiting only Asuncion you will miss out exploring the rural surroundings and lifestyle which is a lot more representative of Paraguay as a whole. You can find options for accommodation in comfortable budget Paraguay hotels in small towns along the main highways and also private ranches called “estancias” with many amenities.

6.Don’t Miss to Taste the Drinks in Paraguay:

Sitting in the shade of a corredor yeré (wraparound porch) or “mango guy pe” (under a mango tree) drinking tereré is one of the perfect ways to create a bond of friendship with Paraguayans. Think of it as a non-alcoholic equivalent of chatting over some beers. If somebody invites you to drink tereré think twice before passing up the opportunity. In case you prefer not to share drinks with others all is not lost. Simply offer to “cebar” or serve the tereré instead and be sure to ask for tips on how to do so. Everyone has his own theory about bombilla placement and water pouring method and will enjoy explaining it at length.
