Beautiful Places in Paraguay


Travel To Paraguay

Panteon Nacional De Los Heroes


This tourist attraction consists of a plaza where visitors are given a tour of Paraguay’s society, culture, and history. If you’re a history and cultural buff then this is a must see place for you. You also get to see a few relics from the country’s past. You can get souvenirs from the many stalls dotting this complex.



Iguassu Falls



This is one of the really picturesque tourist attractions in Paraguay. It is also named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies along the border of three countries, namely Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. The name can be translated to ‘great water’, which is quite descriptive of the scenic view you get when you visit here.


La Santisima Trinidad de Parana


This is one of the major tourist attractions in the country. It also goes by the name Holy Trinity of Parana. This site is actually named after one of the former Jesuit missions in the country. This site is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the places you should not fail to see.


Hydroelectric Plant


Construction of the Hydroelectric Plant began in 1975 and was eventually finished in the year 1991. It was built over the Panama River and is the largest operational power plant in the territory. It was constructed as a joint effort with the nation of Brazil. This power plant provided more than three quarters of the total electricity needs of the country in 1995.


Museo Del Barrio


This museum is one of the sought after places among tourists who visit the country. This museum actually features the indigenous art of the nation. It is quite accessible and easy to find since it is in the country’s capital.


Palacio de Lopez




Located in AsunciĆ³n, this enormous colonial presidential palace is the seat of Paraguay government. Stay at the luxurious Hotel Portal del Sol for a fabulous time!


Basilica of Caacupe




The district of Caacupe is home to a soaring Basilica that’s a popular pilgrimage site. Go during the first week of December and you’ll get to see the festival devotion to Our Lady of the Miracles. Nothing captures the unique Roman Catholic feel of Paraguay as this district.
