Cars 4 Rental Guide To Activities in  Paraguay

Ecotourism: There are 11 national parks and protected areas, the largest of which are in the Chaco region in the north of the country. Birdlife is particularly abundant, and there is also a wide variety of animals, including the Chacoan peccary, once thought to be extinct. Visitors should take plenty of insect repellent with them when visiting remote areas. A good way to view flora and fauna is from boats which run along some of Paraguay’s rivers. Trips can sometimes be arranged on cargo vessels if there are no passenger services. The trip along the fast-flowing River Paraguay from Asuncin via Concepcin passes through fascinating landscapes, eventually leading as far as the huge marshlands in the north and over the Brazilian border. For more information on Paraguayan national parks, contact the Direccin de Parques Nacionales y Vida Silvestre, Madame Lynch 3500, casi Primer Presidente, Asuncin (tel/fax: (21) 615 812; e-mail: biodiversidad@seam.gov.py).
