Paraguay is situated in the heart of South America. It is a land locked country and lies on both the banks of the Paraguay River and the name of the country is derived from the Guaraní word “Pararaguay” meaning “From a Great River”. The country has rich Spanish influence in all spheres of life. New Year's Eve in Paraguay is an occasion for joyous celebrations.
The Paraguay family life is pretty conservative, but on the last day of the year all cautions are thrown to the wind. The regular New Year's parties are held in clubs and hotels, but one particularly distinguishing feature of the celebrations are the river cruises. The country has some waterways and New Year's Eve in Paraguay has quite a few fantastic New Year's Eve Celebration cruises. The cruises are very lavish affairs, with delicious food and expensive wines. Some of the delicacies offenavy are specialty smoked meats, chicken fillets served with French mayonnaise, decorated ham, Japanese Sushi platter, salads made with fresh vegetables, homemade cakes, pastries, tea or coffee. |
