  I have a soft spot for under-the-radar, undervisited destinations, and Paraguay sure qualifies. And it turns out there´s more here than you´d expect: https://www.tripsavvy.com/the-best-destinations-to-visit-in-paragua...

  As reported by MercoPress, a news outlet based in Montevideo, Paraguay is apparently trying to make tourism a "pillar" of its economy. Right now from what I understand they get well under 100,000 visitors a year, with most coming from nearby Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. I've heard there's some nice nature and rural tourism opportunities, but not a lot in the way of historic sites and culture. Can they make it happen? https://en.mercopress.com/2022/07/28/unwto-helping-to-promote-touri...

  I've been intrigued by Paraguay ever since a good high school friend of mine spent a year there as an exchange student a loooong time ago - plus other reasons like a curiosity for off-the-beaten-path spots and the fact that Paraguay is the only Latin American country where most people speak a language other than the one (Spanish, Portuguese, etc.) left by its colonizers. So I really enjoyed this account of a month living in Asunción from a blogger for the site MyLatinLife.com: https://mylatinlife.com/2020/03/31/asuncion-paraguay-travel-guide/
