Highlights of Paraguay
This seven night itinerary shows you some of the highlights of Paraguay, combining the history of the
Jesuit ruins, the majesty of the Iguassu Falls, the Itaipu Dam and the elegance of Asuncion.
Take a two day cruise into the fascinating Chaco region, a remote wilderness of marsh and farmland with abundant wildlife.
We often combine Paraguay with Brazil or Argentina, using the Iguassu Falls as a spring board into either of these
neighbouring countries. Please contact us for ideas and details.
