What is the Paraguay Post?
The Paraguay Post is an independent news source covering all things Paraguay.
We publish original reporting from home-grown and local journalists.
Our readers are academics, journalists, researchers and diplomats who want to cut through the noise. Others are expats who want to break out of the bubble. Many are Paraguayans interested in straight-talking analysis.
Whether it’s politics, the economy, business, crime, corruption, climate, culture, travel tips, or just plain weird: we’ve got it covered.
