Paraguay is a rural country, and many urban residents enjoy vacationing on ranches in the countryside. While the tourism market is mainly domestic, some international tourists also visit rural Paraguay.
Rural tourism in Paraguay
(while largely devoted to relaxation) includes activities such as horseback
riding, swimming, boating and hiking. Areas with great biodiversity are
especially popular with tourists. Many large estancias (ranches) are open to urban and
foreign tourists.
La Lilia estancia.
A 57-kilometre (35 mi)
journey from Asunción through Ypacarai and Pirayú leads to the La Lilia estancia. Visitors can tour the Museum Camp, swim in Madama Creek, enjoy lunch
and learn about typical rural tasks. Nearby are the Campamento Cerro León,
Ñandutí Town in Itauguá, the Ramón Elías Mythology Museum and the city of
Capiatá.
In rural tourism establishments,
group activities are also available to promote the importance of biodiversity
and a commitment to caring for natural resources and the environment.
For Examples :
Agricultural production
Typical foods include sopa
paraguaya, asado, bori bori, mbeju, mandioca and staples such as rice, Chipa,
and dishes made with cheese and eggs. The main crops of Paraguay are sugarcane,
corn, manioc, tobacco, coffee, peanuts, and rice; popular in-season fruits and
vegetables include avocado, mango, onion, orange, tomato, grapefruit and
pineapple.
Topography and
tourism
Most land in Paraguay is
used for agriculture and ranching, although there are still large areas of
forest in some areas. The central part of the country is verdant and hilly,
with characteristically-Paraguayan red soil. The south is flatter and home to
wetlands, streams and marshes. The north is more mountainous than the rest of
the country, with many waterfalls. The Chaco region in the west is arid and
barren, with a unique array of plants and animals.
