Rules in force · 5Motorbike snatch thefts happen on main roads
- Paraguay ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Paraguay's migration authority or a Paraguayan consulate; get your passport stamped at land borders, as some crossings let you pass without it.
- Paraguay ↗The Chaco is remote with few services; travel with a guide or experienced operator and carry water and fuel.
- Asunción and surroundings ↗December to February is very hot: keep outings to the early morning.
- Asunción ↗Many shops, museums and offices close from about 12:00 to 15:00 or 16:00: plan visits for the morning and keep the afternoon for the hotel or an AC café.
- Asunción ↗Motorbike snatch thefts happen on main roads: do not use your phone at the kerb, and carry the bag on the side away from traffic.
