Day 2 in Asunción, Paraguay

Image
 After finishing the sights in downtown Asunción on the first day, I started outreaching other sites using the city bus system by buying at a supermarket a bus pass (25000 PYG, $3.5) charged with values (2300 PYG for non-AC bus, 3400 PYG for AC bus, regardless the f distance).  USD : PYG is roughly 1:7000.

Bonito's waters are part of a system separate from the Amazon.  I took TOUR AQUARIO NATURAL - HALF DAY today. The guide gave a quick lesson before the trip, especially not touching fish, plants, or river bed.  We took a 700-meter walk along a trail of wooden walkways, until reaching the source of the Baía Bonita River. We floated at the source for 15 minutes; the 800-meter route lasts about 40 minutes. The experience i...
