Welcome to Paraguay! Thanks for showing my country ❤️
Visiting this summer - where should I check out?
I can't believe Paraguqy fought against 3 countries alone in the past & lost 90% of it's military men & 50 % of all people !!! So sad & so brave !! 💔💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🇵🇾💞
@@tylerstravelsandmore I recommend you to visit Salto Cristal (Ybycui), Encarnación, Ciudad del Este, Asunción, Paraguarí. Welcome and have fun!
@@spark_6710 they were the bravest! ❤️🥺🇵🇾
@gigifarinha7523 I agree !!! Unbelievable. Shocking !!! So- sad !! Nobody came to aid them . Pretty upsetting ! Thank you so much for your reply !!👍👍 I'd love to visit there someday !!! Beautiful people in Paraguay 🇵🇾❤️💖 Just one thing I can't stand is ,I guess bullfighting is still going there very sadly !! But,I'd still go to Paraguay 🇵🇾 someday soon & see the enormous dam & eat their famous cake ...corn bread 🍞? They look delicious 😋 Hoping it'll happen in the next several years ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️🇵🇾💕💞
Guaran i is pronounced (wah-rah-nee), with the accent on the last i. The lace work is called ñandu ti (nyan du tee) accent on the last syllable. Embroidery is called a' ho po'i. (ah-oh po ee) accent on the last i again.
My best friend of many years in the US is from Paraguay. She's told me all about in and sent pictures over the years from her visits back there, but your tour and history lessons have really helped understand it better. The people seem very friendly, hospitable and proud to share their heritage.
I spent 4 weeks driving around Paraguay back in February and it was beautiful my favorite store was biggies, and it does feel very safe in comparison to Lima peru. I definitely want to go back some time
Paraguay, un país increíble!
Asuncion Paraguay. Capital de mis amores
Hi man, i like to see you doing your own tour. That's the daily lunch for the Paraguayan working class. If your still in here you can try the other tradicional food. We have a festival called "Fiesta de San Juan", it's happening during the week (23 of June is the date). You should try mbeju, chipa and sopa Paraguaya (this one is a solid soup) and chipa guasu.
I think you should visit the countryside sometime, the nature and landscapes are beautiful. The Paraguay experience is not about shows or manmade impresive buildings, it's about the kind people and beautiful nature, so it depends on the turist eyes to see the beauty.
Saludos desde Paraguay, have a nice journey!
wished I was still there to see it! But i have tried all of those things on my tiktok!
I'm visiting in summer, which countryside places should I check out?
You summed it up so well! I went on exchange for a year to PY in 2002. I haven't been back in about 13 years and it's killing me! The people are so beautiful. If people want the true South American experience, go there!
You seem like a great guest in my country! You seem very knowledgeable and so appreciative. Good stuff man! I’m sure Paraguayos you ran in to were pleased to meet you.
Paraguaya this Latino residing in New York City is excited to come visit you / Que ganas de conocerte Paraguay 🇵🇾 y países vecinos
Very interesting and informative filming of a country I knew vey little of until watching your film. I think Paraguay looks a lovely country.
Thanks you visiting my country!, we barely get any tourist who talk about Paraguay in videos and stuff.
Love your video, hope you got a good time in Paraguay
loved my time there!
I'm going in the summer - what should I check out?
It's very nice. If it's like this then it's much more to do in order to have more visitors.
Superior video to any other I've seen on Paraguay. Excellent presentation. For the first time I have a much better idea of Asunción, the people of Paraguay and the history of this nation. Too bad you don't have a part two and three!
Thanks for introducing me to Assocsion Paraguay reminds me a lot like Asmera,Eritrea. This country was colonized by the Italians for a long while the streets, Buildings,side walks.... they have many similarities.
Showed this to my students and it went really well, keep the videos coming!
Great! What class are you teaching
I really like the way you represent the country and its history, so many interessant facts, I never knew. Thank you very much😊
Thank U for coming to my country ❤
Btw, U know a lot of our history. 👏👏👏
11:53 We don't call those "mate", that's called "tereré" which is a cold refreshing drink instead of hot.
We also drink mate but only in the mornings when we wake up, or at night, or when it's cold.
I tried that in cafe de aca. Very good!
Just to add:
- Hot máte caliente or ka'ay in Guaraní, I particularly drink it everyday in the early hours of the madrugada/dawn.
- Cold tereré mixed with yuyos/herbs/pohã ñaná/hierbas medicinales like mint, cedrón, burrito, sarsaparilla, etc., we start drinking it around 8-10 am but not before eating some breakfast/brunch or tereré rupá (bed/base for tereré).
- And well, there's also cocido quemado (toasted? yerba máte with sugar) which is best than coffe (sorry not sorry 😁), we drink this instead of ka'ay/máte sometimes.
Wao! I am very impressed with the research well spoken in this video, we don´t see that level of historical context on other vloggers that visit us, thank you so much, great video welcome anytime.
I hope to visit Asuncion. I have been hearing good stories about Paraguay.
Id suggest visiting/experiencing:
- financial center (shopping del sol/paseo la galería areas)
- night life (there are traditional bars in downtown and modern/fancier ones in carmelitas/villa morra neighborhood)
- big farmers market style area (supermercado 4)
Please give me all the favorite bits for Paraguay!
I'm interested paraguay citizenship good pls inform me.
Yoooo what else? 👀
Really nice video, I liked that you try to show the normal life and streets.
Nice video and pleased to see the areas you walked seemed pretty safe. I was thinking of traveling to Paraguay but seen and read a few stories that it is not very safe. Best wishes for you and your channel !!!!!
thanks for coming to paraguay
happy to come!
thanks for showing my humble country I love your videos ❤️😍😍
Good job summarizing Asuncion and its history. It's a unique place 🇵🇾
I love it !! Thanks for showing my country ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations for your national holiday on 15th May Paraguay from your friends in Germany
I just saw a documentary for this country about Eliza Lynch interesting they've been through a lot😢❤️
Fantastic country
Great video! Visiting next week, hope the weather stays good!
I hope to visit at the end of this year.
I lived in Paraguay for 2 years and still own a house that I want to sell. It is a 2-story, 4-bedroom house that is not far from the airport. I can provide a link to the Clasipar advertisement I have. Asking $115K USD. I am in the USA, but lived in Paraguay for 2 years. I had to return due to business concerns. I miss Paraguay. Good memories there.
Always love your videos always learn a lot from each one of them. Thank you👏👏👏
thanks patrick!
Love the video! Just so you know, guaraní does have an accent on the i on end. Great look at the history and culture of Paraguay!
Paraguay is awesome!
Well done, off the beaten track. I traveled a bit in Paraguay years back. I have tried to convince my Brazilian wife to consider py for retirement, but she's not so keen, yet. Thanks for your time. Health and luck
Thanks for all information about Paraguay
Thanks so much for the history lesson!
You have a very smooth and digestible cadence in the way you articulate culture/history.
you know about history from my country more than i do. good video pal
Nice tour, lots of info... thanks!
11:53 Brother, mate was born in Paraguay. The Guaraní people who lived in the province of Paraguaria (present-day Paraguay) were the first to consume and harvest yerba mate. Its consumption and production extended to what is now Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. They also consume it in part of Bolivia and Chile. It is an ancient infusion without borders.
Love your videos always interesting 👏 Thanks 🙏
thanks!
Thank you for the great video
I’m going to Paraguay next week so it was really helpful for me to get an idea what it looks like
Love the video thanks 🙏
i have spend whole evening watching videos on youtube about paraguay and yours are the only two interesting. going to paraguay in 3 months so thank you for all the information.
Wow, thank you!
Nice tour! 👌🏼
Nice to see the Dutch flag everywhere!
Thanks for overview I arrive just Two days ago :D
That food market seemed so cozy - all those little kitchenettes
12:07 That's tereré (cold mate)
I spent a few hours in Paraguay in January '92 whilst touring the Itaipú Dam. I remember Paraguayan natives trying to see me musical condoms. I didn't buy any. However, I did buy a nice calfskin duffle bag that lasted for many years.
HOOOOOOOOOLA MICHITO, BIENVENIDO A MI PAIS 😀, Hiiiii MY KITTEN, WELCOME TO MY COUNTRY 😎🤩😃😃
Good tour 😊 I maybe moving there in2023!
Amazing
Genial!
Are there crocs in the river?
Best best country to retire. Asuncion here we come!
Vamos Paraguay
That tripe soup looks great.
Though not 100% accurate I appreciate your research and loved seeing my country through your eyes.
thanks for watching!
Saludos amigos
Going on December to stay for a whole month!!hope to love it!
What about night Life?
Thank you very much for the video did you leave in Paraguay asunción
I'm paraguayan and you chose the heaviest thing on the menu, nor would I eat that. The most popular typical food is not that, they gave you a unusual recommendation 😂
Keep it heavy!
What should tourists eat in Paraguay?
Xq decis q eso no son típico de paraguay si el bife i el caldo ava i la tortilla son típico de paraguay 😏
Cuales son platos tradicionales?
@@earthandwind820 @tylerstravelsandmore los más populares son mbeju, chipa, pastel mandi'o, pajagua, butifarra, sopa, chipa guasu, chipa so'o, es lo que generalmente se vende cuando se ofrecen comidas típicas
Gratitude
That bowl of mostly-tripe made my mouth water!
Amazing!
@@TalesFromTheRoad Yah man, it reminds me of a favorite dish I grew up with in southeast Nigeria... Difference being we rarely had more than 2-3 small pieces of tripe in the soup! 😅
What camera did you use for this trip to Paraguay?
❤❤❤
What a nice likeable guy
"not a lot of sketchballs" lol
I'm moving there in a few years I'm sick of Canada
See you down there. (U.S.)
Anyone move down yet? I’m also trying to research a place to flee too from Canada.
Super video brother. I'm interested paraguay citizenship good?
You miss the paraguayan soup and the chipa, next time dip your tortilla on your caldo ava 😊
I never seen videos on that country
❤️❤️💯🇵🇾
do you have any map with the dangerous place marked somehow?
What was the desert?
Where'd you get the sweet flat? Booking?
airbnb
Im from Paraguay my parents are im gonna retire there all my 200+ family members live there so i need to be there
You show today the old downtown Asuncion. Please also show the best part of the city around Shopping del Sol and residential neighborhoods where you will see beautiful houses and tropical vegetation.
Thanks for showing our country. You looks like a very nice person. I wish you the best.
Weldon💖🇵🇰
You forgot to mention,Italians !! Argentines are mostly Italian descendants. 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Hola. Soy paraguaya. XD
"Gamey" for the tripe.
Thanks! Definitely not a Mexico City! But has an Interesting history! Very different from Uruguay which is middle class and boring to death!
I am from California and I was in Asuncion back in 1980 to stay with my high school classmate and her family. I was able to meet Presidente Strossner when he came to watch a soccer match at a Club. I remember how nice the people and how the city was so clean. Of course there were alot of military and police around.I was surprised to see after watching your video, the shacks have moved in the City. Back when I was there, all the poor people lived down along the river. Like the rest of the world, there is so much dirty, lazy and free loading people trying to mix in with clean, hard working people. It's a shame.
Thank you for the video and your video brought back memories on how much food you can get for not too expensive $$$.
Thank you again and be safe in your travel journey's on the road.
Beutiful
Paraguay has a problem with the banking system. Once you bring your money to paraguay, the banks don't let you transfer the money out. So if your thinking about moving to Paraguay be aware of the possiblilty that your money stays here forever.
Skid row in the middle of LA looks worse
Paraguayans are not mulatos; they are mestizo - 50% European 50% Guarani Indian. You will rarely if at all see black people in Paraguay because they make up less than 2% of the countries population. You’d have to visit them in Kamba Kua. Unlike Brazil, our neighbor has more Africans due to the slave trade history. ALSO, the population is not small because its landlocked. The population is small because of the genocide that was committed (Brazils dirty little secret)- 90% of the male population was killed. Many variations and versions told about this war, usually by Brazil but the truth is they committed genocide against Paraguay. Which put the country very behind and we are overshadowed by our neighbors (Brazil and Argentina). Felt the need to comment/correct you on that because many will watch your video and be misinformed with wrong facts.
Tripe: nah my guy. Pass on that one.
Bro. Brazil has 60 million Afro-Portuguese
Crime is out of control in Brasil 😢
Trivia: was cannabis legalized in Paraguay, or in Uraguay? We legalized it here in Canada 5 years ago. No hassles yet, but price is high and quality is low..
Uh, the maps you chose are what ifs, paraguay's size irl was much smaller before the triple alliance, bigger than now but smaller than those maps.
Cierto la ereaa heuke la chipa sopa ha la terere oimapa
QUESTION: How fast is the internet in Paraguay?
And it depends on the company and the place, I live in a small city and I have 4G broadband Internet at 120 mbps, however mobile Internet in remote places can be bad even so you can hire companies and they give you high speed cable Internet
@@eltecnico9541 Cool, Thanks. How fast is the cable internet there?...like in the US, 30mb or faster?
@@eltecnico9541 Is there a maximum of 4G you can use per month, and then it get slowed to 2G or less?
@@michaelsmith5463 The cable Internet that I use is 120 mbps which is 15 mb per second and up to 1000 mbps which is 125 mb per second is also available in the country which is the maximum speed that can be found in the country. In the town and the countryside you can also hire high-speed cable Internet, also a satellite option
@@michaelsmith5463 Standard mobile internet is 4G and can slow down to 3G if you are in some parts of the countryside. If you are far from cities or towns, what happens is that the Internet is cut in some places
In Asunción how much is rent for a Studio or small 1 bedroom apartment? Nothing fancy… In USD 💵
I know someone who lives there in a decent 2 bedroom (plus utility room) 2 bathroom and a nice balcony for $500 a month
Can I ask your level of Spanish proficiency? Paraguay obviously would be harder to navigate than more cosmopolitan cities like Rio and B.A.
I’m probably intermediate. I’d you’re around there all Latin America is fine
Any worries about using your phone on the street?
19:27 strange to walk to the capital? No that’s how it’s supposed to be.
