Reisgids Paraguay - Bradt guides

Productomschrijving: Bradts Paraguay was de eerste op zichzelf staande gids over Paraguay die buiten Paraguay zelf werd gepubliceerd en is nog steeds de meest uitgebreide gids die beschikbaar is. Hij dekt het hele land, van de bekendste bezienswaardigheden tot attracties ver buiten de toeristische paden, plus een grensoverschrijdende excursie naar de Iguazú-watervallen.

Deze nieuwe editie is grondig bijgewerkt om alle recente veranderingen weer te geven, waaronder nieuwe thematische toeristische routes zoals de Ruta Jesuítica Multidestino (Jezuïeten-Guaraní missies) en Ruta de la Caña Paraguaya (Paraguayaanse rum). Ook wordt aandacht besteed aan nieuwe luxehotels voor internationale evenementen en de toename van het aantal vluchten naar Asunción. Van bijzonder belang is de spectaculaire toename van het aantal "posadas" in het hele land: kleine, redelijk geprijsde, door de regering gecontroleerde pensions in particuliere woningen, waarvan het aantal aanzienlijk is toegenomen.

Engelse omschrijving: Bradt's Paraguay was the first stand-alone guide to Paraguay published outside of Paraguay itself and still remains the most comprehensive guide available, covering the whole country from the best-known sights to off-the-beaten track attractions well beyond the tourist trail, plus a cross-border excursion to the Iguazú Falls.

This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect all the most recent changes, including new themed tourist trails such as the Ruta Jesuítica Multidestino (Jesuit-Guaraní missions) and Ruta de la Caña Paraguaya (Paraguayan rum). Also covered are new luxury hotels for international events, and the increase in number of flights into Asunción. Of particular note is the dramatic increase in 'posadas' around the country: small, reasonably-priced, government-vetted guest houses in private homes, the number of which has increased significantly.

Bradt's Paraguay offers all the background information required for a successful trip, from customs and etiquette to curious snippets such as the fact that football is believed to have been invented here in the Jesuit missions in 1793 in a game that corresponds to the game known today. Nature and wildlife are also covered, from the Pantanal in the north to the wetlands of Ñeembucú to the south, and to the Mbaracayu reserve to the east. Immensely detailed, Bradt's Paraguay is written by a well-established journalist who has lived in the country for almost 20 years, who runs an educational charity and who has founded a small hotel which offers tours around Paraguay and is run for the profit of local people. With everything from phone numbers of local keyholders to museums and churches to a map of how to reach remote waterfalls, Bradt's Paraguay is the definitive source for a rewarding trip.
