Nobody comes to Paraguay by accident.
There are no famous landmarks on the bucket
list. No UNESCO sites that fill up with
tourists in high season. No Instagram
coordinates that everyone is racing to
photograph before the crowd arrives. Paraguay
sits landlocked in the heart of South America
— bordered by Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia
— and it has spent the last two centuries
being almost completely overlooked by the
outside world.
And that is exactly what makes it one of
the most extraordinary countries on Earth.
Paraguay is South America's best-kept secret.
A nation of 7 million people living at a
pace the rest of the continent has long
forgotten. Where the tereré — a cold herbal
drink shared between friends in the shade
of a tree on a hot afternoon — is not a
beverage but a philosophy. Where the
Guaraní language, spoken by more than 90%
of the population alongside Spanish, is
one of the only indigenous languages in
the Americas to have survived colonization
as a living, thriving, daily tongue. Where
the Chaco — one of the last great
wildernesses on Earth, a vast dry forest
covering more than 60% of the country —
is home to jaguars, giant anteaters, and
communities of Mennonite farmers who came
from Europe in the 1920s looking for a
place to live simply and quietly and have
never left.
In this 4K documentary, we explore what
daily life is really like Living in Paraguay:
the unhurried streets of Asunción — one
of the oldest and least visited capitals
in South America, where colonial buildings
and street vendors and tereré circles
exist side by side in a city that has
never been in a hurry, the Mennonite
colonies of the Chaco where German-
speaking farming communities have built
an extraordinary self-sufficient world
in the middle of one of the most
inhospitable landscapes on the continent,
the Guaraní communities of the eastern
forests whose language, music, and
spiritual traditions predate the arrival
of Europeans by thousands of years and
are still very much alive today, the
handcraft villages of Itauguá where
women have been weaving ñandutí —
the extraordinary lace that looks like
a spider web made of sunlight — for
four centuries, the river communities
along the Paraguay River where families
live by fishing and farming in a rhythm
that has not changed in generations,
and the extraordinary simplicity of a
people who have discovered something
the rest of the world is still searching
for — a life that is quiet enough to
actually be lived.
