Paragua is an emerging destination where improving tourist facilities are not yet affected by over-consumption. Explore savannahs dotted with palm trees, damp Atlantic forests and the strange ´green desert´, or slowly chug up the Paraguay River whilst enjoying some of the world´s best bird watching.
This comprehensive guide now contains expanded sections on five nature parks and fuller details on the bus routes within Ascuncion. The author, Margaret Hebblethwaite, moved to Paraguay in 2000 founding a charity and hotel both staffed entirely by local people.
