Paraguay - in the 21st Century
California-size Paraguay is surrounded by Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina in south-central South America. Eastern Paraguay, between the Paraná and Paraguay rivers, is upland country with the thickest population settled on the grassy slope that inclines toward the Paraguay River. The greater part of the Chaco region to the west is covered with marshes, lagoons, dense forests, and jungles.

Background
In the disastrous War of the Triple Alliance (1865-70), Paraguay lost two-thirds of all adult males and much of its territory. It stagnated economically for the next half century. In the Chaco War of 1932-35, large, economically important areas were won from Bolivia. The 35-year military dictatorship of Alfredo STROESSNER was overthrown in 1989, and relatively free and regular presidential elections have been held since then.

Imágenes del Paraguay
Paraguay is a country forgotten by time and still undiscovered by most modern travellers. The charming, friendly and innate generosity of the down to earth inhabitants of Paraguay will bring an understanding of the South American way of life. At one end of the country the Iguassu Falls still roar through the jungle as they have done for thousands of years, whereas in Asuncion, the Victorian Trolley cars still glide over the street, as they have been doing for as long as anyone can remember.

- Paraguay Travel Information | Lonely Planet Destination Guide
- Paraguay is South America's 'empty quarter', a country little known even to its neighbours. PJ O'Rourke summed it up bluntly when he wrote 'Paraguay is nowhere and famous for nothing' - and then, on a short visit to cover elections, promptly fell in love with the place. You might well do the same.
- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The Republic of Paraguay (Spanish: República del Paraguay, pron. IPA [re'pu%u03B2lika del parau%u0263aj]) is a landlocked nation in South America. It lies on both banks of the Paraguay River, bordering Argentina to the south and southwest, Brazil to the northeast, and Bolivia to the northwest. The name of the country means "water that goes to the water," derived from the Guarani words pará ("ocean"), gua ("to/from"), and y ("water"). The expression in Guarani often refers solely to Asunción, but in Spanish refers to the entire country.
