Paraguay
Paraguay, a relatively small country surrounded by South America’s bold states of Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina, is still finding its feet as a democratic republic, having endured as a notorious police state for much of the 20th Century. Those who have begun to venture on holiday to Paraguay will discover it has some worthy naturalmore attractions, including dozens of waterfalls and wild national parks. The capital, Asuncion, set on the Paraguay River, is relaxed and friendly with a modicum of tourist trappings.
