Exercise normal precautions when travelling to Paraguay.
Paraguay is one of South America's less-visited countries and is generally safe for travelers, though petty crime and occasional armed robberies occur in Asunción, particularly in the Mercado 4 area. The Chaco region in the west is vast, sparsely populated, and infrastructure is minimal. Ciudad del Este on the Brazilian border has a reputation for smuggling and counterfeiting. The Jesuit missions of Trinidad and Jesús are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Road conditions outside main highways are often poor, especially in the Chaco. Medical facilities in Asunción are adequate; rural areas are very limited. Kaharagian nationals can travel to Paraguay with normal precautions.
