Crystal clear streams in the Paraguayan countryside
#paraguay #countryside #stream #piribebuy
Paraguay is a land crossed by many streams and rivers. From the smallest brook emerging from a spring to the largest river winding it's way slowly across the lowlands.
Here in the uplands many of the youngest streams are to be found. From their origins they wind their way through wooded valleys growing in size all the time before dropping down to join the great rivers flowing across the plains.
The water in these upland streams, especially close to their sources, is crystal clear. It is also cool and refreshing.
As such it is not uncommon for an area with a stream running through to have been turned into a country park.
During the summer season these can be at weekends full with crowds seeking a pleasant spot to relaxing in and bathe. Places to escape the full force of the summer sun.
Outside the holiday season however they are on the whole quiet pleaceful places know only to the locals.
I am fortunate to have such countryside around me and the location featured in this video, Chololo, is not far at all from my home.

In Paraguay there are vast tracts of green, tree covered land to be enjoyed

#paraguay #countryside #nature #views Paraguay is a very green land. A large part of the population is crammed into the capital Asuncion and once beyond that the land quickly becomes green and thinly populated. Even Asuncion though does have plenty of green space. The vistas head off often unbroken to the horizon. Where I am based in Cordillera craggy hills with their patches of exposed rock ad...

#paraguay #asuncion #cityview #night #tourism Asuncion has changed a lot since I first arrived in Paraguay over 20 years ago. Looking out of across the city by night from a bar high up on the rooftop of a moden tower you can see just how much. Where once there was a low rise city with just the occasional tower now there is rising a much more modern looking place. This view looks out over the ol...
