Property in Paraguay - Squatters, Buying & Building...Watch & Learn
In this deep dive we speak with our Canadian friend ‘El Chaco’, who has much to share. From buying land and building to dealing with banks and integrating with the Paraguay community, El Chaco and his family have established a beautiful property that’s well on its way to self-sustainability.
El Chaco has hit some hurdles along the way and how those situations have played out are particularly interesting. Anyone who is considering looking for property in Paraguay would do well to grab a pen, pad & coffee.

Paraguay Property Hunters - A Must Watch
Buying property in an unregulated market like Paraguay is a very different experience to a Western country. We have seen many people make purchasing mistakes. No one is immune. Sometimes the more experience we have (in the country we once called home) the more vulnerable we can be. Our preconceptions can blind us to hidden pitfalls.
We have compiled a checklist of things that you need to consider when buying property in any unregulated market. No matter how many houses you have flipped or purchased, it's worth considering these tips.
Over the coming weeks we will be posting a series of videos under the playlist 'Property in Paraguay.' We'll also be visiting people who have purchased land and built their own home. We will also check out some properties for sale.
Please subscribe so you don't miss the action!
If you have any property related questions, please post them and we'll do our best to answer them in our vid's.

Unfinished Business in Antigua, Guatemala, then back home to Paraguay!
Just over 18 months ago we left New Zealand and set up camp in Guatemala. In the time we were there we gathered some things that we couldn't bear to part with, so we left our belongings with friends and promised to return.
Come with us as we recover our lost treasure from Guatemala!

Every Bus Is A Happy Bus In Paraguay
For less than $2 NZ you can travel 50kms and enjoy a free concert. Paraguay bus rides are party. Buskers & hawkers ride for free. You can buy anything from bananas, health food supplement through to drinks and gadgets. Seldom do you see the buskers & hawkers leave empty handed. The cash economy helps these guys make a living. One of the many reasons we love Paraguay!
We hope you enjoy these cool, Paraguay artists as much as we did. Watch the hawkers as they rock it on the way in.

A Town Where Miracles Happen - Caacupe, Paraguay
We spent a few days in Caacupe, Paraguay. A beautiful town where miracles happen.
The city is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Caacupé. Caacupé is best known as the site of the Virgin of Caacupé, Saint Patron of Paraguay. The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Miracles, Caacupé stands in the centre of the town. At night it lights up the centre of the city like a beacon.
Legend has it that in the 1600’s Franciscan Missionaries commissioned a local man, Jose, to carve a statue of the Virgin Mary. While searching for Yerba Mate tree Jose encountered a hostile tribe of Mbayae warriors. Fearing for his life, he knew that the Mbayae were against Christianity. Jose hid in the trunk of a tree and prayed. The story goes that the Virgin Mary descended and comforted Jose and promised to protect him. In response, Jose promised he would carve two images of the Virgin.
Tapaicuá Lake flooded in 1603, and Jose’s house was swept away. After much praying, the flooding subsided and the statue was found floating in the lake. Today this statue is located in the nearby town of Tobati.
Of course the Spanish influence is everywhere in Caacupe. The streets are clean, and the buildings are interesting.
Caacupe is definately a great destination. Because of its popularity Caacupe is an incredibly well-equipped town considering its population. It has a theatre, lots of amazing restaurants, cafes and shops.
