Paraguay travel advice

Most visits to Paraguay are trouble-free. The threat from terrorism is low. But travellers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.

Visitors should be aware that violent crime is increasing; be on guard and exercise caution at all times, particularly in cities at night.

There is no British Embassy in Paraguay. Any enquiries should be directed to the British Embassy in Buenos Aires. For emergency consular assistance only, please contact the Honorary Consul in Asunción:

Dr Guillermo F Peroni, Eulogio Estigarribia, 4846 C/Monseñor Bogarin, Asunción, Paraguay; tel: (21) 210405; email: guillermo.peroni@pstbn.com.py.
