In reply to Jim Straughan. In the countryside away from the towns and cities, very low. As you would expect there are a few places that are best avoided, but with a bit of planning that is easily done. With more people in towns and cities crime rates are as might be expected higher, but hardly anywhere dangerously so. And as for personal safety, a bit of common sense and there should be no issues

Hi
What is the crime rate or personal safety levels ?
I imagine it varies from place to place .

In reply to Ross Bergerson.

Yes that it what I have heard from various sources, but being in a remote area I can’t say I’ve been up there to check it out. It is up near Mariscal Estigarribia deep in the Chaco. That town also happens to have a large airbase, built as a vanity project back in the days of the dictatorship and far larger than Paraguay has use for. So from what I have read it is now leased out to the USA.
There are a lot of things worth making a visit to Paraguay to see, and most are not so deep in the countryside. Pleased to hear you are enjoying reading the blog posts

We were watching a documentary Blue Gold about water in my high school classroom and it mentioned that former presidents George Bush Jr. and Sr. purchased almost 300,000 acres of land in Paraguay. Is this true, to your knowledge? I am also wondering why. After doing a little research I am interested in visiting Paraguay. My wife and I are teachers in Minnesota. I am reading your blogs and finding them very interesting.

In reply to Gordon (Sandy). Thanks for getting in touch. I would be pleased to be able to offer you assistance and support when you are making arrangements to come here. As for properties, I have seen quite a few so should be able to help you there. It does seem that Paraguay is a popular place for people in Canada to be looking at right now.

And yet another Canadian looking for a move long term starting in a few years; however, my mother wishes to move much sooner, over the coming year as she off-loads a few of her properties here in Nova Scotia. We will definitely need some support when the time comes. I will be her chaperone/driver when we visit. We’re still working-out what she would like to buy, e.g. countryside house, townhouse, condominium.

Same here, working on moving long term from Canada, I will be grateful to get some support in terms of purchasing suburbian property there. Hoping to get my record check soon and will be in touch. Viera

In reply to Daniel. I'd be happy to give that help. There are plenty of nice places to consider in Paraguay, and in addition to all the green open spaces the cost of living is quite modest.

I have been considering moving to Paraguay from Canada for the better part of a decade now. Just can’t seem to keep up with inflation for saving up the necessary funds. I’m in a better spot now, I’d appreciate the help when the time comes. Piribebuy and Eusebio Ayala look like lovely places, although Encarnacion keeps catching my eye too.
