As a Brazilian citizen, you do not need a passport to enter Paraguay; the original ID card issued in the last 10 years is sufficient. Make sure the document is in excellent condition. The driver's license (CNH) is not accepted as an immigration document, although it is necessary if you plan to rent a car. There is no need for a visa for stays of up to 90 days for tourism.

The bus system in Asunción is extensive but can be confusing for beginners. We recommend using transport apps like Uber or Bolt, which work very well and are extremely cheap compared to Brazil. For a local experience, walking through the historical center is feasible, but for longer distances between Villa Morra and the Center, apps are the safest and most comfortable option.

It is best to exchange some money at exchange houses downtown or use international debit cards. Credit cards are widely accepted in malls, hotels, and medium/high-end restaurants, but always have cash for markets and small purchases.

To explore Asunción like a local, escape the modern malls for a while and spend an afternoon in Loma San Jerónimo. Order a complete 'Tereré' with medicinal herbs (yuyos) and sit down to chat. For lunch, look for places that serve the 'Menu del Día' with typical dishes like Bife a Caballo.
