10. San Estanislao
Named after a Polish saint, founded by Spanish Jesuits, intended to convert the native Guarani Indian peoples of San Pedro in central Paraguay, and infused with the cultures of immigrants from Italy, Germany and Eastern Europe throughout the last two centuries, the pint-sized yet interesting little stop-off of San Estanislao is like the history of the country writ small.
9. Filadelfia
Filadelfia sits just on the edge of the Gran Chaco, where the forests and undulating hills of the Region Oriental give way to the great boreal plains that form the very heartlands of the continent as a whole.That makes this far-flung town – the so-called ‘Capital of the Chaco – a very different place to the small southern cities of Aregua and Itaugua.
8. Itaugua
Famed for its distinctive tribal art and traditional Paraguayan folk music scene, the small city of Itaugua is a great place to while away a few days as you make your way through the very heart of South America.
7. Aregua
Just a short drive from the heart of the buzzing downtown streets of Asuncion, and now almost contiguous with the capital thanks to the ceaseless expansion of its outer suburbs, little, lakeside Aregua is a fine place to go to escape the heat and energy of Paraguay’s only real metropolis.
6. Yaguaron
This small backwater town set in the shadow of the bulbous cliffs and rocky hills just south of the capital at Asuncion began life as a Spanish mission intended as a settlement spot for the Guarani natives back in the early decades of the 1600s.
5. Ybycui National Park
Capuchin monkeys swing through the canopies while howlers scale the tree trunks at Ybycui National Park, a small and tight-knit protected section of what’s remaining of the Upper Parana Atlantic Forest. Most travelers make the relatively short 150 kilometer drive here straight from the capital, eager to see the gushing waterfalls that cascade down through the rocky undergrowth of the forests in steps and plunge pools.
4. Ciudad del Este
Like a Moroccan bazaar, the markets of Ciudad del Este sprawl out along the courses of the Parana River, the sounds of Middle Eastern hagglers and Taiwanese electronics hawkers echoing between the rows and rows of blinking electronics and branded clothes.
3. Cerro Cora National Park
This pint-sized natural reserve is unquestionably one of the most dramatic and breathtaking sections of backcountry in all of Paraguay. Only recently established, it encompasses a great swathe of undulating savannah and highland terrain, where otherworldly hills peak above the swaying grasses and mosquitoes buzz around the shuffling carapaces of armadillos.
2. Encarnacion
The so-called ‘Pearl of the South’ reclines carefree on the banks of the Parana River, drawing crowds of Asuncenos (people from the capital) during the summer with the promise of pristine riparian beaches and the country’s most up-and-coming boardwalk boulevard.
1. Asuncion
A curious metropolis of more than two million people, Asuncion is the beating political, economic and cultural heart of modern Paraguay. The center clings to the eastern banks of the Paraguay River, which meanders around the downtown along the border with Argentina to the west.

Argentina: Multicultural Hotspot & Nature in Abundance
Argentina is the largest Spanish-speaking country in South America and geographically dominates the south of it.
It is full of extremes. South America’s hottest and coldest temperatures have been recorded here: minus 32 degrees Celsius in Patagonia, and plus 49 in the Córdoba province.
The climate is exceptionally diverse, ranging from subtropical in the north to subpolar in the far south, while the most populated areas are generally temperate.
The central region of fertile lands is known as „La Pampa“, with flat land and medium-height mountains.
There is jungle in the very northeast while the south is dominated by the Patagonia plateau that features subantarctic forests in the west, arid and rocky steppes to the east and moister cold grasslands in the south.
The western border with Chile goes along the bumpy and rocky Andes including the highest mountain outside the Himalayas, and at the base of the Andes mostly rocky desert of the western Cuyo region.
As a megadiverse country Argentina is hosting one of the greatest ecosystem varieties in the world and a biological diversity that is among the world’s largest.
While inhabited by early cultures such as hunters and food gatherers, as well as the indigenous Mapuches coming from Chile and farmers like the Guaraní, Argentina was colonized by the Spanish, though Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci arrived first.
Eventually, during the 19th and 20th century, Argentina became the country with the second biggest immigration wave in the world, second only to the USA. The majority were people from Italy, Spain, Germany, UK and France. This had massive influence on its demographic outlook, architecture, fashion, design and culture.
Arguably known as the birthplace of tango, Buenos Aires is the super populated capital of Argentina and one of the megacities on earth. However, tango is constantly in the air, on the streets and part of the porteños’ identity. It goes smoothly with its impressive nightlife and the conscious imitation of European styles combined with South-American flair.
The Arabic, African and Asian population add to Argentina’s status of being a truly multicultural place. Especially in terms of music, food and art.
It’s common to gather late in the evening. When you go out, try the excellent beef and wines, before or after a Tango session, and relax while you have a mate drink.
While romanticized like the North American cowboys, the Gauchos and their traditional country lifestyle of self-reliance have a major influence on Argentina’s culture. Probably only soccer has a bigger, more contemporary impact on the nation’s identity.
There’s so much to do and see that once you visit you will return.
From a sensual tango night in Buenos Aires to a rib steak in company with a Malbec red wine during a soccer game of the national selection, the historic Jesuit center of Córdoba, a Gaucho ride in the Pampas, the Andes mountains in the west with amazing vineyards at its foothills, the spectacular Iguaçu Falls in the north, the sheer abundance of nature in Patagonia in the south including the Glaciers National Park, the Valdes Peninsula (one of South America’s most beautiful nature reserves) and the world’s southernmost city, Ushuaia, in the Land of Fire which is the main gateway to fantastic Antarctica.
If you’re a nature lover and outside-adventurer looking for the ultimate exploration of one of the most diverse countries and have the courage to explore yourself, you are on the best way to come ON BOARD.

Chutes d'Iguazu, Argentine & Brésil - Voyage Cataratas de Iguacu, Argentina & Brasil
Les chutes d'Iguazú se trouvent dans la province de Misiones, dans le Nord-est de l'Argentine. Elles sont devenues en 2011 l'une des 7 nouvelles merveilles naturelles du monde. Une reconnaissance pour ce site fabuleux et absolument hors norme, déjà classé depuis 1984 au Patrimoine mondial de l'humanité par l'Unesco.
Le site offre un spectacle majestueux : entre la puissance et la quantité impressionnante de chutes et de cascades, la jungle tropicale pré-amazonienne ou encore la faune exubérante.
Situées sur la frontière entre l'Argentine et le Brésil, près du Paraguay, les chutes d'Iguazú, eau grande en guaraní, sont formées par un ensemble de 275 cascades rassemblées sur un front de 2,5 km cerné par une végétation tropicale. Leur hauteur atteint 72 m, soit 25 de plus que celles du Niagara.
La visite se divise en deux parties : le Parc national brésilien (Iguaçu), puis le Parc national Argentin (Iguazú). Ce dernier fut le premier parc national d'Argentine, et fut aménagé par le français Charles Thays.
Il est recommandé de visiter d'abord la partie brésilienne des chutes d'Iguazú, moins impressionnante mais avec une vue panoramique très intéressante, puis de parcourir le second jour la partie Argentine. 3 circuits sont proposés, il est recommandé, pour monter en puissance au niveau des émotions, de les réaliser dans cet ordre : circuit bas en premier, circuit haut ensuite, et en point d'orgue, la Garganta del Diablo.
A noter qu'il est possible, 5 fois par mois, de visiter les chutes d'Iguazú lors des nuits de pleine lune.

The MONSTER IGUAZU Falls ARGENTINA 2.7 KM SPAN 275 Cascades Bigger & Higehr than NIAGARA
You might have visited other great waterfalls before. But you probably still have no idea what to expect when you come face to face with the almighty Iguazu Falls, on the border of the Argentina province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Parana.
Unlike over-hyped destinations that can leave you feeling disappointed, Iguazu Falls instantly turns even jaded travelers into a raving fan. Judging by the sheer number of visitors -- more than one million a year -- its pulling power is showing no sign of weakening. Unlike any other waterfall on earth.
Spanning 2.7 kilometers, Iguazu Falls is made of 275 waterfalls or cataracts.
To describe the Iguazu Falls without gushing superlatives is a futile exercise.
With water cascades as far as the eye can see -- some massive and powerful, some small and dainty -- the Iguazu Falls are a shock to the system.
Even the late U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was reportedly so impressed when she saw them that she purportedly said Poor Niagara.
Iguazu Falls always catches you by surprise, says Martin Ruffo, Intrepid Travel's regional product manager for Latin America. They're truly a magnificent display of nature.
Their size and scale are unlike any other waterfall on earth.
That's no exaggeration.
By any measure, Iguazu Falls is a monster.
It's made up of a system of 275 waterfalls or cataracts, with the exact number depending on the season.
It spans an area 2.7 kilometers wide.
The tallest of these waterfalls, called the Devil's Throat, drops by more than 80 meters into a milky abyss that creates a permanent cloud of mist.
To put that in perspective, Iguazu Falls is nearly twice as tall as Niagara Falls and rivaled only by Zambia and Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls, which is taller at 108 meters.
It's nearly three times as wide as Niagara Falls and significantly wider still than Victoria Falls.
The amount of water pouring from these falls to the Iguazu River is equally staggering.
On average, about 1,500 cubic meters of water flows every second.
Depending on the time of the year, the rate of water flow can be as much as 13,000 cubic meters per second -- enough to fill five Olympic swimming pools -- especially during the rainy months of November to March.
It's little surprise then that the river that the water flows into, as well as the waterfalls, are both named Iguazu, which literally means big water in native Guarani Indian language.
Endless superlatives
Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue - Paraguay
The Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue of Paraguay are considered some of the most impressive creations of the religious work of the Jesuit, and are testimony of the historical richness of the country.
Aleixo Garcia discovered Paraguay in 1524. Its development in political, economical and social matter was a slow process, scarred by armed conflicts between Spanish conquerors and natives, who fought to preserve their territory. By 1590 the Spanish had founded 10 cities and 40 colonies in South America. The natives were forced to be at their service (Encomienda system).
The Spanish King tried to improve their quality of life by making some decrees for their protection but it was difficult to have a real system of control to make sure they were obeyed. The system of Encomienda gave place to many insurrections of the natives.
It was not until the Missions were established that there was a real improvement in the living conditions of the natives. The first Jesuits arrived in Tucumán in 1586 and in 1587, by request of the Asunción’s Bishop, Alonso Guerra. The Jesuits started the evangelization and building of towns or Missions in the region of Misiones and Itapúa Departments in Paraguay.

Iguazu Falls, Iguazú Falls, Iguassu Falls or Iguaçu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu River rises near the city of Curitiba. The river flows through Brazil for most of its course, although most of the falls are on the Argentine side. Below its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu River forms the boundary between Argentina and Brazil.
The name Iguazu comes from the Guarani or Tupi words y [ɨ], meaning water, and ûasú [waˈsu], meaning big. Legend has it that a god planned to marry a beautiful woman named Naipí, who fled with her mortal lover Tarobá in a canoe. In rage, the god sliced the river, creating the waterfalls and condemning the lovers to an eternal fall. The first European to find the falls was the Spanish conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1541.
Geography Iguazu Falls
===================
Iguazu Falls is located where the Iguazu River tumbles over the edge of the Paraná Plateau, 23 kilometres (14 mi) upriver from the Iguazu's confluence with the Paraná River.[1] Numerous islands along the 2.7-kilometre-long (1.7 mi) edge divide the falls into numerous separate waterfalls and cataracts, varying between 60 to 82 metres (197 to 269 ft) high.
The number of these smaller waterfalls fluctuates from 150 to 300, depending on the water level. About half of the river's flow falls into a long and narrow chasm called the Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo in Spanish or Garganta do Diabo in Portuguese). The Devil's Throat is U-shaped, 82 metres high, 150 m wide, and 700 m long (269×492×2,297 ft). Placenames have been given also to many other smaller falls, such as San Martín Falls, Bossetti Falls and many others.
About 900 metres (2,950 ft) of the 2.7-kilometre (1.7 mi) length does not have water flowing over it. The edge of the basalt cap recedes by 3 mm (0.1 in) per year. The water of the lower Iguazu collects in a canyon that drains into the Paraná River, a short distance downstream from the Itaipu Dam. The junction of the water flows marks the border between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. There are points in the cities of Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, and Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, which have access to the Iguazu River, where the borders of all three nations can be seen, a popular tourist attraction for visitors to the three cities.
Distribution of the Falls between Argentina and Brazil
The Iguazu Falls are arranged in a way that seems like a reverse letter J. The border between Brazil and Argentina runs through the Devil's Throat. On the right bank is the Brazilian territory, which has just over 20% of the jumps of these falls, and the left side jumps are Argentine, which make up almost 80% of the falls.
Tourism Iguazu Falls
===============
There are two international airports close to Iguazú Falls: the Argentine Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport (IGR) and the Brazilian Foz do Iguaçu International Airport (IGU). Argentina's airport is 25 kilometres (16 mi) from the city of Iguazu but closer to the Falls hotels than its Brazilian counterpart. There is bus and taxi service from and to the Airport-Falls. Brazil's airport is between Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil and the falls. LAN Airlines and Aerolíneas Argentinas have direct flights from Buenos Aires to Iguazu International Airport Krause. Several Brazilian airlines, such as TAM Airlines, GOL, Azul, WebJet, offer service from the main Brazilian cities to Foz do Iguaçu.
