We loved it here but understand its not for everyone. You have to be patient with some services and dinners can take a long time as they don't rush you out like in America.

Asuncion is 220 volts, so you bring transformers for youy 110 v equipment or leave it behind. Paraguayan culture, in my experience, is less rich than other Latin American cultures.
