ParaguayParaguay: travel information, diplomatic representations
How do you get to Paraguay?Europeans will usually fly to Paraguay as it is the cheapest, most convenient and fastest way to get into the country. Air connections Asunción is served by several European airlines. The airline TAM-Mercosur - Transportes Aéreos del Mercosur - is the domestic American branch of the Brazilian company TAM. There are no direct connections from Frankfurt/M, Vienna or Zurich. Iberia flies to Paraguay via Madrid and São Paulo (Brazil). VARIG (RG) flies via São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro to Asunción from Frankfurt/M., Munich or Paris. Flight time: Frankfurt - Asunción: 14-18 hours. Travel in the countryFlight connections The Mercosur Airpass is valid on all routes of the participating airlines within Argentina, Brazil, Chile (with the exception of Easter Island), Paraguay and Uruguay. Airlines: Austral (AU), Lan Chile (LA), LAPA (MJ), Pluna (PU), VASP, TAM and VARIG (RG) with the subsidiaries Nordeste (JH) and Rio Sur (SL). The pass is valid for a stay of a minimum of 7 and a maximum of 30 days and is only available to passengers who purchase an international round-trip ticket and who are not resident in South America. Two countries must be visited. Also the Visit South America Air Passis valid on all routes from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile (with the exception of Easter Island), Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. It offers similar conditions. There are 33 domestic flight destinations from Asunción. Bus An extensive bus network connects Asunción with the whole country. Buses are the cheapest means of travel in the country. Road traffic Only about 10% of the roads are paved. Diesel fuel is significantly cheaper and gasoline a little cheaper than in Europe. As far as the Paraguayan driving style is concerned, it is - to put it carefully - death-defying. Nobody stops at stop signs, red lights or for passers-by. The one who is strongest has the right of way, so - who is surprised - large trucks and buses will hardly give way to anyone. A mass of high-speed motorcycles rounds off the picture of the urban traffic chaos. Rental car Cars can be rented from almost all major international companies such as CarConcept, Alamo, Avis, Hertz, National or Europcar, as well as from domestic providers. Anyone who decides to rent a car in Asunción should, however, pay close attention to the condition of the rental car, as the streets in the city are sometimes in very poor condition and each shock absorber is very clogged. Above all, the speed bollards should be taken seriously and run over slowly. Otherwise they can cause serious damage. Some roads are not paved at all. The driver must be over 21 years old, a national driver's license is sufficient, a credit card is required. Vehicles can be rented at Asunción airport or at the tourist information.

Representations of Paraguay in GermanyThe building of the Embassy of Paraguay is located on Hardenbergstrasse on Steinplatz in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district. Opposite are, for example, some buildings of the Technical University (TU Berlin). Since there are hardly any parking spaces in the vicinity of the embassy, it is highly recommended to use public transport or a taxi. Not too far away is the "Zoologischer Garten" train station with long-distance and local transport connections as well as with the underground lines U2 and U9. In the other direction is the underground station "Ernst-Reuter-Platz" on the underground line U2.

Recommended vaccinations when traveling to Paraguay, the following vaccinations recommended:
Compulsory vaccination As mentioned above, all persons who are older than one year and who come from a yellow fever infection area designated by the WHO are required to be vaccinated against yellow fever. Yellow fever vaccination for children In most of the countries where a yellow fever vaccination is compulsory, this also applies to children aged one year and in some countries even from six months. It should be noted that vaccination against yellow fever had a number of side effects, such as encephalitis. Around two-thirds of those affected were children under six months. Therefore, under no circumstances should children under this age be vaccinated. But children under one year of age should also not be vaccinated if possible. If in doubt, yellow fever infection areas must then be avoided. Any vaccination against yellow fever may only be carried out in specially authorized yellow fever vaccination centers! Malaria prophylaxis When traveling in the country, it is advisable to undergo malaria prophylaxis. However, if the side effects seem questionable to you, you should at least have a "stand-by preparation" with you.
