Paraguay is not as famous as the other South American Counterparts, but it has its own lazy charm. Its dreamy beaches, gleaming golden dunes, breathtaking waterfalls, and lush biodiversity makes it stands out from the crowd. If you are the kind who enjoys going into the wild, this is the perfect place for you. Here, I have put together a small list of the Most Romantic Places in Paraguay for you. Shall we start the trip to this dreamy land?

Koi and Chorori Hills

This is one of the most beautiful places to see in Paraguay. These hills are at the northwest of Lake Ypacaraí. These hills are connected to Ybytypanemá summits and the entire area of about 5 hectares is protected. Some 40 million years ago, due to strong magmatic events, columnar sandstones were formed on these mountains. These kinds of geological structures are only found in three other places- South Africa, Canada, and Egypt. And that’s why in 1993, for their unique geology, Koi and Chorori hills were declared as the heritage site. The honeycomb-like structure of the entire area is breathtaking and unique. And the lake only adds to the beauty of the polygonally shaped sandstones.

Iguazu Falls

If you want to know some of the fun facts about Paraguay, the best way is to visit the Iguazu falls in Paraguay. It is situated at the Border of Brazil and Argentina. Extended to 2.7 km, it houses over 275 individual waterfalls ranging from 196 ft to 270 ft height. In 1984, UNESCO declared it as the World Heritage Site. It is definitely one of the most romantic places in Paraguay.

It is the part of both the Iguacu National Park of Argentina and Iguazu National park of Brazil. It is easy to cross over the fall from one side to another. If you want to see the waterfalls up close, visit the Argentina side. The Brazil side gives you the access to good vantage points for enjoying the panorama.

La Costanera

Meandering along the Paraguay River, La Costanera is a wide seafront. You can often see locals strolling here enjoying the cold-brewed yerba mate called tereré. In 2013, it was redeveloped and since then it has occupied a spot among the best places for couples in Asuncion.

If you want to indulge in some activity, you can go on a boat ride or rent a bike, boar or rollerblades from the vendors on the riverside. It is the best place for spending an afternoon and watching the sunset.

Nacunday Falls

These falls are one of the most recommended Paraguay attractions. The Ñacunday Falls are the Niagra of Paraguay and are located at the distance of 900 meters from the Paraná river. The fall has a single 400 meters long stream that flows down over a huge basalt step, displaying the raw power.

This fall is the part of the Ñacunday National Park which is famous for its rich flora and fauna. Here you can see river otters dancing as they dive in the search of exotic sea fishes. You can count this fall among the best places to visit in South America.
