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.
