    Republic of Paraguay
  • Landlocked Paraguay is probably the least visited country in South America.
    Surrounded by Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina, Paraguay still offers the chance to explore a less populated but equally rich country in terms of landscape and wildlife.
    Interestingly, Paraguay is home to the largest hydro electric plant in the world and it's no wonder that the spectacular Monday Falls and Iguazú Falls are a must see!
