Paraguay is a small landlocked country in South America, bordering Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. The country is well known for its natural beauty, with wide open prairies, thick forests and stunning rivers and waterfalls. Here are some of the highlights of Paraguay's natural beauty:

The Iguazu Falls are one of the most impressive sights in Paraguay. These mighty falls are located on the border with Brazil and Argentina, and stretch over 2 miles (3 km) wide. They are best seen from the Brazilian side, where you can get up close to the thundering waterfalls.

The Ypacaraí Lake is a beautiful freshwater lake located in central Paraguay. It has a lovely green hue, and is surrounded by forest-covered hills. The lake is a popular spot for swimming, boating and fishing.

The Jesuit Missions of Paraguay are a series of 17th century churches and monasteries, built by the Jesuits in the Spanish colonial era. These beautiful buildings are all located in the same area, and make for an interesting daytrip from Asunción, the capital of Paraguay.

The Chaco region of Paraguay is a vast and sparsely populated area, home to thick forests, rolling hills and dramatic cliffs. This is one of the most wild and undeveloped regions of Paraguay, and is a great place for hiking and wildlife watching.

Paraguay is a diverse country with something to offer everyone. Whether you're looking for a thrilling adventure, or a relaxing break in nature, Paraguay is definitely worth a visit!
