While there I spend most of the time in the capital (Asuncion) and as I don't have the danger paranoia it's easy to feel safer, just avoid talking on your cell phone while in public buses or walking around. It's always wise to take some care but I can't considere Paraguay dangerous, obviously we dont have a good reputation but it's mostly related to corruption. Paraguay is a lovely place, that's for sure and as you know you could see danger in everything you do, some precautions are always good though.

Is this true? When I told friends about this blog and how I want to visit Paraguay, they warned me that it’s a dangerous place for foreigners and that robberies are common. Is this true?

This not only happens in Paraguay but in most developing countries around the world. Don’t blame your country. This not only happens in Paraguay but in most developing countries around the world.
