“This was great, we were picked up in Brazil in the morning and taken by private car across the border to Ciudad del Este in Paraguay. Our driver/guide, Robert was excellent and spoke good English and gave us all the necessary information. We were dropped at the Paris mall. We walked around the city a bit, got some good food and coffee and purchased some shoes and a few small items. Though we didn't have much shopping to do, its a great place with prices around 30% below Brazil and Argentina for brand name goods and electronics. We were back in Brazil just after noon. Overall A++”
