Paraguay. Why not we are so close by, so we decided to go for 1 Day to have a small impresion. We took the regular bus to the border. There are buses that drive over the bridge to Paraguay, but we wanted to walk over and its faster as traffic is Terrible. There are motortaxi s. When you stay in 30km radious from the border you dont have to check in or out. But we wanted to have a paraguayen stamp in the pasport. There s a tourist informationdesk too. Okay we are in cuidad del este and what a chaos, people flyering for cheap electronics, crazy traffic, high buildings, loads of markets stalls everywhere, fruit- and drinkcars. Now find a bank and bus to the waterfalls salto del monday. Different colours of hilarious busses. 2500 guarani for one way ticket. You have to be at least in one. The busride to the waterfall is crazy. Unending of people selling everthing and everywhere. Shops, markets, cars and also walk car to car with strings of garlic, bags of pineapples and oranges. Little walk to the waterfall trew mainland, low houses and lot of land. Was nice to see the way how people live here. Next stop ‘ tres fronteras’ in english ‘triple frontier’. Its not that easy to find and was further then we thought. In the end it we just had to wait for the right bus to stop in front of the door, but hey if you know everthing in avance 🙂 so we were the only tourist there and after a walk we came to the Paraguay pole, hihihi yes we found it. Its not that big but the idea that you are there is really nice. You look down to the boatborder, river and too 2 other countries. Back to center and switch bus to ‘itaipu dam’. One of the biggest of the world. Back to the border we got a small ride from the staff from itaipu to the taxistand as she advised us not to take the bus, because its too busy. So funny.
