After living in Paraguay and throughout Latin America for the past couple of years, I’ve needed to learn how to dress for the heat—and I don’t just mean “it’s summer” hot. Paraguay is hands down one of the hottest countries I’ve ever experienced (it’s actually the hottest country in Latin America… not a great choice…

Why Asado Is One of My Favorite Parts of Living Here Since moving to Paraguay a couple of years ago, I’ve fallen in love with a lot of things here. The slower pace of life, the ease of navigating a smaller city, the friendly people—but one thing that really stands out in the crowd is…
If you’re spending some time in Paraguay’s capital and looking for something fun and family-friendly, I definitely recommend visiting the Asuncion Zoo.
