The capital has the Costanera waterfront and central government services. The Paraguay River around the city is unsuitable for swimming: a river view does not mean beach living.
Good private facilities are concentrated in major cities. Hospitals and doctors expect immediate payment; insurance alone may not settle the bill on the spot. Some medicines are unavailable. Ambulance: 141. Outside major cities, account for specialist access and medical-evacuation arrangements.
Minor citizens and foreign residents travelling with one parent, unaccompanied or with another adult need a travel authorisation or judicial permission. The usual authorisation is processed through the local Juzgado de Paz, certified and legalised; bring the original and a border copy. Evidence of parentage is also required. Non-resident visiting children have a different checklist.
Heavy rain can flood even paved roads in Asunción, while rural unpaved roads may become impassable. FCDO notes potholes and unlit vehicles at night. Taxis and buses often lack working seat belts, an important check before boarding with a child. The legal driver blood-alcohol limit is 0.00%.
A daily mean includes the night. It is not a heat ceiling: individual days can be much hotter.
