INSIDE PARAGUAY 🇵🇾

**I made this video 3 years ago, but only shared it to Facebook...so I wanted to post it for all you guys here on YouTube! Please excuse the fast paced editing and shaky camera -- I was a newbie back then**

HOLA FROM PARAGUAY --Did you know their first language is NOT Spanish here? It's called Guaraní!

If you are like me 2 days ago, then you know nothing about Paraguay -- so my goal in this video is to introduce and open you mind to this hidden subtropical nation (and culture) in 3 minutes!!

If I am being 100% honest with you, I had very low expectations going into this trip... Most people I know who have been to Paraguay, told me it's boring and not worth my time to visit. Well, I was proven wrong! I love going to places that most people don't visit. It excites me more than anything else.

I was lucky enough to meet up with 2 friends who reached out on Instagram, Niko and his uncle Hernan, who picked me up from the airport and drove me all around Asunción and the countryside for 2 days. We ate amazing food, walked around the city, went to some markets and more -- and it was a lot of fun! I learned a lot about the most homogeneous culture in South America.

Here are 8 things I've discovered about Paraguay, that you might not know.

I’m from Santa Cruz de la Sierra and the cool thing is that my city was founded by immigrants coming from Asunción so we have similar habits from our slang to our love of tereré. I hope you can visit Bolivia one day

[mackieverga]

I’m from the Philippines and I have been eyeing for this country ever since. 😍

[willrueb]

I'm so ready!
I'm adopted and my original home country is Paraguay. Born in Asuncion & I've never seen my home country. I've only heard stories about it being under some type of military control in the past. This makes me so excited & ready to visit my home country!!!
Thank you so much for opening up my eyes & my mind & my heart to travel!

My daughter was born in Asuncion. My wife is also from there. It was a nice country to live in! But my heart is always in Texas

i heard about paraguay just only from the world football i'd like to see 1 day! grettings from italy

[adammarjanovic]

One of my favourite footballers is from there, Jose Luis Chilavert

[Hanthebananz]

Paraguay is one of my favourite countries in the world! Cheap, friendly, and Asuncion is extremely safe! There are not many capital cities in the world where you can walk around at 2am without a single fear! La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná near Encarnacion are a must-see and are also one of the least visited UNESCO sites in the world! The Chaco, Caacuape, and Aregua are also must-sees in order to experience Paraguay and its outstanding culture and landscape! And it's VISA free for the UK and EU countries! I planned to stay 2 days in Paraguay and ended up being there for over 6 weeks! An absolute heaven on earth!
