Official Recommendations
In France, both for individuals and professionals, the "travel advice" from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding precautions for each country has legal value. A similar online travel advice system exists in several countries:
Health
Diseases
Hygiene
Local Healthcare Facilities
Safety
Crime and Delinquency
Scams and "Tourist" Harassment
Socio-Political Risks
Although rarely reported, there are some drug-trafficking groups along the central borders with Brazil, as well as a small revolutionary group called the "Paraguayan People’s Army" in the same region. That said, the chances of encountering them are very low for visitors.
Climate, Nature, and Wildlife
Risks related to nature and the environment should be considered for those planning to venture (alone) into the Chaco region, which is rather "hostile" in this regard.
Foreign Consulates in Paraguay
If you encounter problems while traveling abroad, your country’s consular services can assist you. It’s also worth noting that if you are a citizen of the European Union and your country is not represented, you can contact any other EU member state’s representation.
