Paraguay

Paraguay is a landlocked country located between Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. Large areas are occupied by swamps, subtropical forests and chaco – a semi-desert area that combines savannah and shrub steppe. The capital is located in the city of Asuncion, lying on the banks of the Paraguay River. Here is the Government Palace and the Del Barro Museum, which displays pre-Columbian ceramics and nanduti lace. Lace can be purchased at local stores.
