Famous tourist attractions

Paraguay is one of the most fascinating and underestimated South American countries. The small country has several places that are largely unknown to the rest of the world. These great places to visit in Paraguay will definitely astound you, showcasing a distinct blend of cultures when compared to neighboring countries. Asuncion is one of the places that should not be overlooked. The government palace in Asuncion is a must-see attraction. This approximately 50-year-old edifice is a beautiful spot to visit. Personal requests should be avoided, but the palace otherwise provides a good view into modern Latin American leadership. The Palace is open for pictures, but please do not get too close. You can also get a sense of the government building's aura when it is illuminated at night.

You can also explore Saltos del Monday, a stunning 40-meter-high waterfall and branch of the Parana River. Saltos del Monday, unlike Iguazu Falls, is not as well-known, but it still features breathtaking landscape. A hiking trail complements the 80-meter-high waterfall. A hike to the top will reward you with a beautiful view. The falls are best observed after dusk when the water is foamy. Encarnacion is an excellent destination for those interested in culture and history. Both the Trinidad and Posadas ruins are Jesuit communities that can be visited. If you are interested in history, you should visit the UNESCO-listed church, which is one of the best preserved in the country
