Day 1: Asunción, Paraguay

Arrival Airport: Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU)

Welcome to Paraguay, a landlocked country that is filled with miles of subtropical forests and houses some of the richest wildlife that the rainforests have to offer. You’ll start off your stay in Paraguay’s capital: Asunción.

Upon arrival in Asunción, you will continue through customs and immigrations where you will obtain a “visa en arribo” (visa on arrival). You will then transfer to your accommodation for check in, spending the remainder of the evening exploring the city at your leisure and enjoying a delicious dinner at the hostel or at a local restaurant.

After breakfast, we will embark on a city tour of Asunción. The tour starts in old downtown, where you will visit Casa de la Independencia, the house where Independence was announced. We will also visit the Cathedral, as well as the train station (not in function), which is one of the oldest in all of South America. Next, we will visit the national Panteón and have the chance to try one of the typical Paraguayan dishes.

After lunch, we will head back to the hostel, where you can relax or explore the city at your leisure.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What vaccinations should I get before my trip?

It's important that you receive the most accurate and up-to-date travel health information before departing for South America. The only one qualified to provide you with this advice is your family physician or a specialist from a Travel Health clinic. We can provide some general guidance on what websites to check, but these websites are no substitute for a personal consultation with a qualified medical professional.

+ Can you help arrange my travel visas?

If you are an American traveler joining this trip, you will need a visa to visit Paraguay. Please use VisaHQ to verify the visa requirements for your travel plans.

In any case, please verify that your passport will have at least six months' remaining validity throughout your entire stay in South America.

Travelers arrive from all over the world to begin our tours, and it is not possible to include international airfare in our prices. We would be happy to help you arrange flights. Just ask for an air quote when making your booking.
