Let PlanPilot™ AI Find Your Best 5G eSIM for Paraguay

Official Languages: Spanish, Guarani

English is not widely spoken outside some hotels, tour operators, and higher end businesses. Basic Spanish is very useful, and a few local phrases can help in smaller towns.

Mobile Network: Mobile coverage is generally good in Asuncion and other main towns, with 4G commonly available. Coverage can weaken on highways, in wetlands, national parks, and remote rural areas.

Roaming/SIM/eSIM: Roaming is convenient for short stays but can be expensive unless your home plan includes South America. A local SIM is usually the cheapest option for longer stays and gives good value for data in cities. An eSIM can be the easiest choice if your phone supports it, but plans and speeds depend on the provider and may cost more than a local SIM. For most visitors, local SIM or eSIM is better than standard roaming.

Cards are accepted in many hotels, larger restaurants, supermarkets, and urban businesses, especially in Asuncion and bigger towns. Cash is still important for small shops, markets, buses, taxis, and rural areas, so carrying some guarani is advisable.

Tipping is modest. Service may sometimes be included, so check the bill first. In restaurants, leaving around 5 to 10 percent is appreciated for good service but is not always expected. For taxis, people commonly round up the fare. Small tips for hotel staff or guides are appreciated when service is helpful.

Plug Type: Type C and Type F are commonly used, and Type I can also be found in some places.

Voltage: 220 V, 50 Hz

Adapter: Possibly. Many travelers from continental Europe can often use their plugs directly for Type C or F sockets, but visitors from the United Kingdom, Ireland, North America, and other regions typically need a plug adapter. Check your device compatibility because voltage differs from 110 V countries.
