Paraguay

About Paraguay

Paraguay sits at the heart of South America, a landlocked country split by the Paraguay River into fertile eastern plains and the sparsely settled Chaco scrubland. Its capital, Asuncion, founded in the 16th century, is nicknamed the Mother of Cities for the colonial expeditions launched from its shores. Bilingual in Spanish and Guarani, Paraguay preserves an indigenous language at the center of national life like few countries anywhere.

• ·Paraguay's flag is one of the very few national flags with different emblems on its front and back sides.
• ·Paraguay and Bolivia are the only two landlocked countries in South America.
• ·The Itaipu Dam on the Parana River, shared with Brazil, ranks among the world's largest hydroelectric plants and supplies most of Paraguay's electricity.
