Travel Alert from Ottawa: Paraguay

Paraguay: Exercise high degree of caution

Canadians should exercise a high degree of caution in this country due to limited medical resources, generally poor road conditions, and increasing crime rates.

The current political instability in Paraguay could lead to demonstrations and violent confrontations throughout the country. Occasional roadblocks could occur on main highways and in the capital, which could disrupt local transportation services. Canadians are advised to avoid demonstrations and large gatherings, monitor local media and follow the advice of local authorities.
