General Info

[Member #4179]

On this trip, more than three months elapse between my arrival and departure dates. My understanding is that there is a 90-day rule here just as in most countries, but I have had difficulty finding anything definitive on Paraguayan websites.

I am just beginning to investigate the best course of action. One idea would be to go to Posadas AR for a couple days. Does anyone know if I would have to pay the Argentina "reciprocity fee" (over $100 USA) if I walk across the bridge from Encarnacion to Posadas with my USA passport? Actually, I would like to visit both Encarnacion and Posadas, just to see what they are like. But I dislike paying a reciprocity fee.

I think that Brazil also charges a reciprocity fee, but a trip to Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian side would be fun too.

A friend here said that Paraguayan immigration might give me an extension beyond 90 days, so that is another option to look into. If anyone else has information or advice, I would appreciate it.

I will be leaving Paraguay for the States in May, but I am seriously thinking about getting a cedula for future extended trips, which takes months with much documentation, so I understand.

Also by the way, I have a Paraguay visa that is good for the life of my USA passport.

Thanks.

They can ask for 600k guarani all they want. I had the best time at PY Escorts for 150k for the hour, went back there three times. Big problem with hot. Com, they don't post addresses, and trying to understand the girls when you phone is not easy! Any updates on the addresses is always appreciated.

[Furysys]

Yeah, I saw that. They can ask. So many other places, I figure that if anyone puts up a fuss, they'll drop the price fast enough

Paraguay isn't as cheap anymore, damn Inflation made living almost as expensive as North America now.

Yes I see that. There is a new Agencia:Universitarias which quote 1 hora: Gs 600. 000 para la chica.

Incredible! More than 100€/1 hrs. OK chicas look georgous but come on. Same rate than Europe or Ukraine.

[Alpha Alemán]

Don't buy into all that stuff.

Listen to a guy that lives here since almost 4 years.

Only Putas and very poor girls from the countryside will accept sex for money.

If you want beautiful normal girls you need to speak very good spanish, wear good clothes, have decent pick up skills, and know how to handle her shit tests.

Yea right, they get approached at least 5 times a day by local guys of any social class, rich and poor men, why should they pick the next best overweight or geeky and horny gringo?

U will only succeed if you have lots of experience with women in general.

Be careful with your money.

Thanks a lot for the interesting take on Paraguay and lots of useful information. I hope that more people will share info here.

I have received tons of help from the forums, so I thought I would write a few things about Paraguay (I just spent a month there).

The weather is excellent during the winter. The lowest temperature I saw was 10C and the highest was 26C. The days are awesome. The people however are used to the inferno summers and thus overdress during the winter. I think anybody from North America would be fine in shorts and a shirt.

The best places for pros that I found were Thai on General Garay (I think its #534 or something). Noemi at "Estados Unidos 525" has a great girl during the days. Her name is Jesica. Petite but very dangerous natural curves (120000 Gurarani for an hour, thats about $25). Also Elite Producc on Cerro Cora 225 is always decent. However, on this trip the most attractive girls I found were at Egilia Ayala 326. It was a surprise to me because they don't announce on asunsex. The best place to find girls is still asunsex. Com. Py or hot. Com. Py. Just call the number of the agency provided and ask if your girl is available and the address. Warning: If you pick an 8 or 9 you might be waiting a long time at the house. I rather just pay the 300. 000 Guarani and have her go to the hotel. They will charge you $100 if you are foreigner.

You can find semi Pros at Toc Toc Bar, Arena & Cafe, and some at La Cubana and even Faces. One key to understanding Paraguay is that almost 99% of the women are semipros. Meaning that for $300 US or less, you can get models no problem.

Also I wouldn't recommend ever marrying a Paraguayan girl unless you can stash her away to your country. The culture is insane. Every man has 15 girlfriends and every woman has 10 boyfriends. Whether they are married or not, is irrelevant. I spent a month there and my phone would ring nonstop from pros and nonpros that I met there. Whether they had boyfriends or not, was irrelevant. Everybody in the country loves to pound, especially if you have money. Hope this report helped.

If you are looking for a good hotel near many casa Hotel Preciado can suit for you.

Azara 840 (www.hotelpreciado.com)

It s well located, clean and safe. They have wifi, swimming pool and it s include breakfast.

I walk always more or less 10 min to find a casa, which is close (exept deseos).

Price go to 150KGs for less than 3 days.

110 for more than 6 days.

90000 for more than 10 days.

This option can be a good choice if you don t want to rent an appartment.

If you have a Garmin Nuvi GPS and their Mapsource software you can load the only available autorouting map of Paraguay into your GPS. Look on the internet for Proyecto Mapear. It is a free download and covers Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (even though it does not state it covers Paraguay). Vers 9. 4 is the latest. I used it last year for 2 months with a hire car and it is pretty good.

I also have uploaded a file of Points of Interest in Paraguay. It has all the privados I have been to or I have been able to find the addresses and some of the short term motels. It also has a lot of non-mongering tourist stuff, and stuff of interest to me. It doesn't have that many clubs, casinos or bars. At least it could be useful as a starting point. The Garmin POIloader program will load it straight into the GPS.

I have a little 3" Nuvi 2250 GPS that I carry when I travel which fits discretely in my pocket.

So Jaime, how about an update! .

I have not had any all night visitors yet. I did stop by at Toc Toc bar Saturday night, but I was told that they don't open until 10pm.

I did go to Brittanica Pub (or whatever its name is) , but didn't see any chicas looking for friendship. The food was pretty crappy, but seemed fairly busy. I don't think I'd go back, based on food quality. Also their so called nonsmoking room is open, and has cigar smoke coming in from the bar.

I'm trying to check out new places every week, so will report info as I find it.

[Maharadjah]

I plan to visit Asuncion during the 17th of April. It's the semana santa.

Some local experts can advise me if during this week the activity (casas, girls.) is normal or low?

Hello JC: It sounds like you are having loads of fun. I am collecting the info you are providing here.

I am going to be in Asuncion from October 18 to 22. I like to bring the ladies for overnight. In fact I like to keep them longer if the service is satisfactory. Do you have any suggestion about the places where I can pickup overnight guest?

Plenty of banks and other exchange houses in Asuncion. My hotel offered 4700 to 1, which is not a good rate but not as bad as most hotels I usually see.

Changed $100 at a bank near the Lido. 4850 to 1 usd. Later saw a another cambio that said 4863. It's nice that the dollar is actually getting stronger while I'm here.

Some restaurants will take other currencies. The Bolsi prints receipts with Arg Pesos, Real and USD on it. You take a 3-5% hit, but not horrid.

I arrived yesterday, and breezed through customs. Luckily I was near the front of my Gol flight. I think only about 30 people actually got off the plane, though.

After getting my checked bag, had to get it x-rayed at aduanas, and then you're done. About 10 minutes from exiting the plane, to entering the public space in the terminal.

They had one money changer outside, who was giving a 4750 rate. Seemed reasonable enough. Went outside and got a 90k taxi ride to downtown.
