Getting Around
Buses are the main mode of transport, both for intercity and intracity travel; 'Colectivos' in Asunción are colorful and old-fashioned; taxis and ride-sharing apps (like Muv and Uber) are common and safe in cities; boat tours on the Paraguay River offer scenic views.
Cultural Etiquette
Greetings involve a handshake or a double kiss on the cheeks; sharing 'Tereré' (cold herbal tea) is a fundamental social ritual and a sign of friendship; punctuality is relaxed ('Hora Paraguaya'); respect for elders is deeply ingrained.
Internet & Connectivity
Digital infrastructure is stable in major cities; 4G is widely available via Personal, Tigo, and Claro; high-speed Wi-Fi is universal in hotels and modern shopping malls in Asunción; connectivity can be spotty in the remote Chaco region.
