Paraguay is a country that hasn’t yet become fast paced and hectic like the US. This is still a place where people leave work to go home for lunch.

 


The Guarani Indians are the native people of Paraguay. Their language, Guarani, is actually one of the two official languages in Paraguay (the other is Spanish) and many people, even the wealthy, are able to speak it. The country is developing, but it’s better than others, I think. And Paraguayan money is called Guarani...it’s obviously a very popular word in Paraguay. I’m sure I’ll return and I would truly like to get to know Paraguay better.

${QuickSuggestions} Try chipa. It’s a corn bread, shaped like a donut. It’s not very sweet though; it's a little more salty than sweet and Paraguayans eat it for a snack. ${BestWay} The best thing to do is probably rent a car, even though the other drivers are pretty scary.
