British Government says...

Found this on the travel advisory webpage from the British Government concerning Paraguay. If only I read that BEFORE our road trip to Encarnacion! Ah well, it was quite the adventure :o)

Safety and Security - Local Travel - Road Travel Paraguay's network of surfaced main roads is limited and of variable condition. There is an ongoing programme to upgrade the major routes but minor roads remain unsurfaced and often become impassable during heavy rains. Large potholes are an additional hazard, particularly in the highway to the Mennonite Colonies in the Chaco region and in Asunción. Exercise extreme caution when driving on country roads at night as unlit vehicles and cattle sleeping on the roads are common.
