About Paraguay
Peguahe pora Paraguaipe, bienvenidos a Paraguay, and welcome to Paraguay—a country alive with tradition, fusing the indigenous Guaraní Indian culture with the culture of the Spanish conquistadors. Paraguayan social life revolves around the family and sports, especially soccer. You will most likely live in a small town without modern conveniences (dishwashers, microwaves or central air conditioning), but a city is often nearby.
Please Note: Travel date ranges are provided to help with general scheduling. Please do not reserve any domestic travel based on these dates. AFS will notify confirmed participants with specific travel details approximately 45 days prior to departure. Programs, prices, and travel dates are subject to change without notice.
