Life in Paraguay Facts You Will NOT Like - Living in Paraguay Truths Exposed

Paraguay Will Remain a Hidden Gem

Paraguay's geographic location in South America makes traveling to the country quite challenging. There are few direct flights available, and airfare isn't exactly cheap.

The lack of networking opportunities is another big reason why Paraguay will remain a hidden gem.

Living in Paraguay is all about embracing the great Guarani culture while enjoying the territorial tax system, where you can consume foreign income tax-free.

I took my 76y mom to Paraguay, she was very negative, now after her visit, she loves it- peace, nature and people. We only went to villages and national parks, I am resident there

Paraguay is a gem for those wanting a nice and quiet retirement as well.

I have lived my whole life here in Paraguay. Totally true when you mentioned the lack of English speaking people, in fact less than 1% can properly speak and write in English. Many of us (Paraguayans) were never able to get a proper education, so the facts are there to behold. I sincerely wish more people get to know this little piece of south-american land, great weather, awesome bbqs, low taxes, and a thriving environment for businesses and investment.

1. Paraguay is a conservative country, 90% Christian, mestizo ethnic unity (white people are super welcome), two languages: Spanish and Guaraní, governed since 1954 by an anti-communist political party.
2. Paraguay has access to the sea (port of Buenos Aires or port of Montevideo) through the great Paraguay-Paraná Waterway
3. Paraguay is building the "bi-ocean highway" that will link Paraguay and the Brazilian region Mato Grosso, with ports in Chile and Peru (on the Pacific Ocean... and Asia)
4. Paraguay shares with Brazil (50-50), the large Itaipú hydroelectric dam. Paraguay only uses 3 of its 10 turbines. The rest buy Brazil at $19.28 per kilowatt-month (USD/kW-month). Paraguay invites investors from electro-intensive industries who can use 100% of the Paraguayan electricity from Itaipú (7 turbines of 700 MW each), in their own national development.

That feeling, that peace, that tranquility, that joy, that safety. I'll take that every time. Boring is good.

The superficial tourist who seeks to appear on social networks is the one who gets bored and complains. It is a place for people who plan a future.

I give you a like because you just stated the truth.
The only thing I would like to correct is that probably Paraguayans are amongst the best people not just in South America but the entire world.
This is coming from someone that lived in more than 12 countries in 5 continents, multilingual (5).
Paraguayans are awesome and the women are stunning in every sense.
The worst part is its lack of access to the sea & night life (Brazil & Argentina aren't too far for that matter).

Interesting video, as a paraguyan I agree with a lot of it, the only thing I do have to say is that you can definitely find people who speak English, there's plenty but most of then will be around the Capital in Asunción and some of the surrounding cities as well and also in Encarnación and Ciudad del Este thanks to the amount of foreigners and businesses there.
Worth noting that people who can speak and understand English will be around the ages of 30 an below and will be harder to find older than 35 yo speaking it simply because for them there wasn't any need or interest to learn it.

Glad that you're still enjoying the country ❤

I'm italian and now I live in Paraguay and I LOVE my new life here, I prefer Paraguay than Italy

[leunisvandewege]

My former Paraguayen girlfriend would't go back there because of the unbaerable humid heat in summer.
So if you want to know how Paraguay realy is, go visit it in summer.

[BooklessPete]

Very intriguing! I am enjoying your channel.

[tonym]

I am sick and tired of the entire 'fun crowd' who are constantly partying and chasing pleasures. I am not a fan of Thailand at all.

[paullilliott]

So far, you haven't driven me away! The fact that most people are driven away is a bonus. Very clear videos - v helpful

I'm a Japanese-Brazilian in my early 30s currently living in Europe. I work remotely for the U.S. and am considering moving to Asunción in January. I'm not worried about mosquitoes or the heat, as I spent most of my life in Brazil. I miss the warmth and happiness of the people in South America. Living in Europe has its perks, but the rent is outrageous, the weather is often dreary, and there's a noticeable dislike for foreigners. Asunción seems appealing—it's affordable, sunny (which I love), and offers a more relaxed atmosphere.

For sure I feel good in Paraguay as foreigner here I can tell you that I experienced exactly the same when I came the very first time.

Having lived in the Chaco for years, and having visited again recently, I can say a few things: it's hot. Stepping outside in the summer in the Chaco is like having a blow-dryer on full heat hit you. Typically low humidity, and I love it, but my wife who experienced it for the first time was less thrilled. But there are definitely seasons, and it can get quite cold on winter nights. Was surprised how many people, especially young people, want to speak English. Certainly not everywhere, but in the Mennonite communities we found it quite a lot. The East is less hot, more humid, and also gets cold in winter. The people are friendly, and generally accepting of and friendly with "foreign-looking" people because there are large communities of Germans, Russians, Koreans, and Japanese, and they have been there for generations. As the video says, Paraguay is inconvenient to get to. It just is, and I don't see that changing either. You won't see many of the the low-budget, backpacking students there because you don't get the same return for your money as you would in some other places. People usually go there for a reason. I think this video presents a very realistic picture of Paraguay. I'm told many people who came there especially during COVID have left again, realizing that some of the challenges aren't what they expected, so if you plan on moving there, do your homework.

Yeah, Paraguay is a hidden gem, but so hidden that noboby can see it. Hello from Peru. I saw your video, and at times I thought you were talking about some provinces in Peru. The differences are diversity of geography, from Lima are flights to most of the world, expats here are also fully integrated in peruvian community but higher amount of english spoken people as learning english as a 2°language is ingrained at schools's curses, specially in middle to high class districts, nice mild weather in Lima as in Magdalena del Mar. Both countries are conservatives said in the good way that good things should not be changed. I think most of all your thoughts about Paraguay could be found in Peru´s provinces. I was surprised that you have no videos about Peru, not even as a tourist. Try Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, etc. But at the top of them, Lima is a gem, but probably not so hidden, at all. 😄

Would love to see a video on real estate prices in Paraguay. I try to check online, but what I see are incredibly high prices, which I'm not sure is accurate.
