Transportation Options

TRAFFIC

Those traveling on the busiest street, especially where public transportation operates, have the right of way. Stop signs and obstacles designed to reduce speed, known as speed bumps, warn of dangerous crossings or curves. It is mandatory to use low beams on highways, where tolls must also be paid.

TIP:  If you do not speak fluent Spanish and are driving a rental vehicle, you should avoid traffic fines due to frequent police checks by always carrying the following: a driver’s license and passport, an emergency triangle, spare wheel, tools, flashlight, and fire extinguisher.

Rental Vehicles  At the hotel, we work with companies offering this service, so we can assist you with this. Numerous gas stations ensure fuel supply, except in the most remote parts of the Chaco.

Transport Apps As long as you have a data plan or Wi-Fi signal on your phone, you can use your preferred transport platform. Uber, Muv, and Bolt all operate in the country.

Taxis Taxis are available at stops located within and around cities and can also be ordered by phone. If the vehicle does not have a taximeter, it is advisable to negotiate the price before the trip. The hotel reception can assist you with taxi services within the city.

Public buses , known as colectivos, run almost constantly within and between towns. They stop when someone signals with their hand; official stops only exist in urban centers. You can find a guide to these buses on the JAHA and MAS apps, available for Android and iPhones.

However, the simplest and safest method is to ask, even the driver. Do so before getting on the bus, as the same route often has multiple variations.

Intercity Buses provide an economical alternative to rental cars and flights. These buses operate throughout Paraguay, travel to neighboring countries, and even beyond. They range from modern and comfortable to more basic, depending on the fare. Tickets are sold at the Asunción Bus Terminal. Buses usually depart from this terminal, although in some cases, passengers can board along the route. For more information, visit: https://www.plataforma10.com.py
