    A soccer match in
    Asuncion
    by eduar68
    Soccer in south america is serious bussiness. A while ago, a strike of soccer players that paralyzed the regular season in Argentina became a matter of national security!! In Paraguay such frenzy is rerely seen but in international matches of local teams or the national squad. Going to a match is a colorful experience because of the public and the quality of players. Prices start around 10000 Gs (Less than $1.50)

    In Paraguay, there are several biking circuits every year. The most famous ones are Vuelta al Paraguay (Paraguay Tour) and Lago Azul (Ypakarai Lake circuit).

    Check the website for calendars.

    There are nice circuits in the Guaira Region too with low range hills and several streams and waterfalls, scenic!

    You will need a bike and profesional clothing.
