One of my favorite things to do living in Asuncion is taking quick day trips outside the city. There’s so much more to see than just Asunción, and if you’re looking for a peaceful escape that’s close by, Areguá in Paraguay is a great option. While there are many options for day trips outside Asunción,…
After having lived in Paraguay for several years—and spending time living in both Asunción and Ciudad del Este—one of the biggest highlights of being based here has definitely been visiting Iguazu Falls from Paraguay.

Introduction Crossing an international border on foot is always an adventure, but walking from Brazil to Paraguay across the Friendship Bridge is an experience like no other.

Since moving to Paraguay and living here for the past few years, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from other expats and digital nomads is: What’s the healthcare in Paraguay like?
