Gap Year Programs in Paraguay

Known as the Corazón de Sudamérica (Heart of South America), Paraguay keeps your blood flowing and adrenaline pumping. Though not a tourist-heavy destination, Paraguay can offer an authentic and meaningful travel experience among its 6.5 million residents. There is environmental diversity, since it is landlocked among Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia. It also fuses the Guarani and Spanish languages, making it a culturally rich nation. Whether you’re fresh out of high school, avoiding the “real world” after college, or simply looking for a change, there is a gap year in Paraguay for you!

A Guide to Gap Year in Paraguay

Popular Locations

Asúncion and Rural Areas. For the best gap year experience in Paraguay, the city of Asúncion and smaller, rural areas are your top choices. As the country’s capital, Asúncion is home to over 2 million people who value their agricultural mix of corn, sugarcane, cattle, and more. Gappers adore the variety of natural greenery and the Paraguay River, with the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the Casa de Independencia, and high-rise buildings.

Pilar, Misiones, and Paraguarí. However, don’t count out the rural towns, including Pilar, Misiones, and Paraguarí. Living at a slower pace of life, with the flowing stream of Arroyo Ñeembucú and forests full of wildlife, they aren’t areas to miss during your stay abroad. There is time for outdoor adventure! The city of Pilar even hosts a beach party called “Fiesta Hawaiana” along the Ñeembucú every year. You can enjoy summer fun on January 2nd with 15,000 to 20,000 tourists, Argentinians, Brazilians, Uruguayans, and locals. If a night full of music, drinks, and bright lights isn’t your speed, Pilar also hosts a fishing tournament for people all over the world.
