In the Chaco, infrastructure is poor outside of settlements. Roads can easily flood, especially during the wet months of March, November, and December. Bordering the Chaco in the far northeast is another area highly prone to flooding: the Pantanal Wetlands. Brimming with fantastical wildlife, be wary of flooding there from October through April.

The Chaco
The Chaco makes up about 60 percent of Paraguay, covering all of the north and half of the middle of the country. The humid chaco starts at the Paraguay River and continues west, while the dry chaco encompasses the center and west of the country. Two of the Chaco’s major towns, Mariscal Estigarribia and Filadelfia generally range in temperature from the mid-50s to the high 90s throughout the year. However, temps can go above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). Late April to late Sept...
The Paraneña
Covering half of the middle and all of the lower portion of Paraguay, the Paraneña region contains the northern Paraneña, southern Paraneña, and Paraná Plateau. Temperatures throughout the region generally range from the fifties to the low nineties. The southern Paraneña and Paraná Plateau don’t have a dry season, and during winter, the whole of the Paraneña region has cold air outbreaks. The northern Paraneña experiences long, hot summers and cool, clear winters with little rain. The souther...

The weather doesn't get significantly cool until mid-May when cold winds start blowing. High temps generally rise to the mid or low seventies in the Paraneña region and the low eighties in...
The driest and second-longest season in the country, winter spans June to August. Temperatures throughout the country range from 42 to 71 degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 to 21.6 degrees Celsius). Parts of the Chaco see no rain in July, while others only have three days of rain per month. Days in the Chaco shorten slightly but still last for 11 hours. In th...
Spanning the month of September, Spring is Paraguay’s shortest month. Wind speeds drop only slightly throughout the country, ranging from 7.5 to 5.5 mph, and the temperature increases slowly, rising from the high seventies to the low eighties. The hours of sunshine also increase around a half to a full hour throughout the country, and daylight incr...
Paraguay’s climate overall is characterized by high humidity and warm temperatures year-round, with hot and rainy summers, and mild winters with significant temperature variability that can bring both frosts to practically the entire national territory, as well as heat waves.
