When to Go

Because of Paraguay’s intense summer heat, visits in the winter months (May to September) are preferable as the weather is pleasantly variable. July is the coldest month with temperatures averaging just over 20°C (68°F).

Paraguay’s celebration of Carnaval in February is a good time to go – the liveliest celebrations are in Asunción. The religious center of Caacupé is the most important site for Día de la Virgen (Immaculate Conception Day) in December.
