A Sampling of Paraguay

From Bonnie Hamre, About.com

For many years Paraguay, known as the "empty quarter" of South America, was closed to tourism for political reasons. Open now to tourism, Paraguay offers a scenic variety of terrains on either side of the Río Paraguay bisecting the country. The western portion, known as the Chaco, covers more than 60% of Paraguay and vast stretches are still in a natural state. The eastern portion is lush, fertile and home to most Paraguyans.
