4 out of 5 stars
Reviewed on 23 May 2024 by Mark Saxby
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Both Iguazu falls and the Jesuit missions. The missions were very interesting and
impressive. The Iguazu falls were very impressive.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Worth stopping in Brazil or Argentina both before and after for at least a couple of days as not that straight forward to get to Paraguay. Make sure you get a stamp on entry to Paraguay in your passport
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Probably did help local people.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Paraguay is an unknown country but is interesting and what see is seen is all
interesting. A lot of being driven, particularly on two consecutive days. Still very good.
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
Environmental thinking isn’t at the forefront of everyday life in Paraguay, so we need to keep it at the forefront of ours. We always make sure to take all litter with us, disposing of it responsibly in big cities and towns and mustn’t leave cigarette butts either. Bringing a reusable water bottle is a great idea and if purchasing any snacks, we encourage our travellers to avoid excess packaging.The remote landscape of the Chaco is a fragile and sensitive ecosystem. We take great care to only stick to tracks here to avoid damaging the flora that thrives in this particular environment, and in all parts of the countryside we are careful to leave these places as they were found. Likewise, if we see any rubbish, we pick it up when possible.
If our travellers see any wild animals being kept in captivity or being mistreated throughout their time in Paraguay, we encourage them to report this to the relevant animal welfare and conservation organisations. We also advise our travellers not to have their photos taken with captive animals as this fuels the illegal wildlife trade and encourages locals to keep taking animals from the wild.
People
Keeping money in local economies and supporting community projects is extremely important. We spend time with local communities, taking the time to learn about their culture, traditions and way of life, helping to keep old traditions alive and making sure that small communities benefit from tourism. Speaking Spanish, or at least learning a few phrases, will surely bring a smile to local people's faces and they will appreciate that we are making an effort.Using local guides also ensures money stays within local economies and means we will be treated to such valuable, in-depth and honest knowledge which you perhaps wouldn’t get from a western guide. It also means we are keeping carbon emissions down.
Most people like to take photos on their travels, and it’s sometimes easy to forget that the photogenic person in front of you may not want their picture taken. We always ask if it’s okay, and respect their wishes if they say no.
