Asunción, Agencia IP.- Recently, Paraguay became the focus of attention for thousands of visitors arriving to witness the Copa Sudamericana final. However, beyond the sports spectacle, what truly captured the hearts of those who visited the country was its people’s warmth, hospitality, and solidarity.

Social media was flooded with testimonials highlighting the experience of being welcomed in a place where kindness and generosity often take center stage. Visitors shared stories of moments ranging from simple daily gestures to unforgettable experiences that left a lasting positive impression of Paraguay.

Welcomed like family

Many visitors praised the hospitality in Paraguayan homes, where no effort was spared to make them feel welcome. X user @juanroleri shared: «We came to the home of my cousin’s partner’s mother. THERE ARE 7 OF US, and she won’t let us buy food or use our own towels. It’s amazing. Paraguay and its truly wonderful people ❤️.»

Another similar story came from @sarabiafacu, who said, «What a luxury the Paraguayan people are. They treated us like kings. People were waiting with hoses to cool us off every couple of houses. They were so hospitable. Viva Racing and viva Paraguay.»

Festive gatherings were also common. @juanroleri recounted how his cousin’s brother-in-law organized a barbecue for 17 people to welcome them.

Solidarity and warmth everywhere

Paraguayan kindness extended beyond homes and into public spaces. Acts of solidarity from the police even caught visitors by surprise. As @lucas_corva shared: «The police let us shower and use their bathrooms – incredible how nice they were!»

Public institutions also reflected this warmth. @Juampi_Manera recalled how officials from the National Migration Directorate handed out water to those waiting in line at the border: «There were 15 blocks of cars waiting to cross the border, and they brought us water. It’s the best country on the planet.»

Others highlighted the excellent healthcare system. @242Pablito shared: «Last night, one of our group had a minor domestic accident. We took him to the hospital, and you wouldn’t believe how well they treated us. Tremendous kindness. They gave him medicine, and we didn’t have to pay a dime.»

Small gestures, like a local woman using a hose to cool down overheated fans, didn’t go unnoticed. @patomolina expressed: «There’s this wonderful lady spraying water through her fence to cool down Racing fans suffering in the heat. Absolute gem. Paraguay, a generous and brotherly nation.»

Cuisine: An unforgettable delight

Paraguay’s food left a lasting impression. @mjarque7 declared: «I’ve just confirmed that mandioca (cassava) is the best invention on the planet. Fried, boiled, baked. Thank you, Paraguay, for so much.»

Paraguayan beef also stood out. @wolframio22 commented: «Delicious meat in Paraguay. Great beer and affordable prices. I’ll definitely come back.»

Meanwhile, @loladelcarril remarked: «Cheers to Paraguay! A country and people with big hearts. Kind, hospitable, cheerful, and festive. The food is spectacular (amazing beef), and prices are reasonable. You feel so welcomed.»

Other visitors enjoyed traditional dishes like chipa guasú. As @soymartincasal noted: «Chipa guazú and milanesas – officially in Asunción.»

Asunción, an ideal venue for major events

Paraguay’s capital received widespread praise as an ideal location for international events. Its organizational capabilities and the warmth of its people left a lasting impression.

@mila_scu stated: «Asunción is the best host city for a Copa Sudamericana final. Not even Córdoba, Montevideo, or Maldonado compare to this. It’s a true celebration, and Paraguayans are exceptional hosts.»

@javierlanza summarized: «What a noble city Asunción is. It should be the permanent host of the Sudamericana final. The people are so kind and make you feel truly welcome. Paraguayan hospitality is incredible – they’re always looking for ways to help. It’s moving to see such kindness during today’s final.»

A destination that leaves a mark

Finally, visitors expressed overwhelming gratitude. @DonRutti shared:

«I’ll never forget how we were welcomed in Paraguay. Eternal memories and gratitude.»

User @AlmenAlgaba wrote: «What wonderful people in Paraguay. It was 37/38 minutes into the second half, and they were waiting on the sidewalk with water, ice, and hoses to cool us down. What a pleasure to travel and feel cared for. Others could learn a lot from how visitors are treated here. Cheers to Paraguay!»

@Juampi_Manera added:

«Now that I’m about to cross the border, I just want to say: what a BEAUTIFUL welcome from the people of Paraguay. Their quality, warmth, and kindness – anyone you passed would honk their horn or wish you well. Marvelous. It makes you want to come back.»

Paraguay used this opportunity to showcase the best of its people: kindness, solidarity, joy, and hospitality. For many, it transformed from just a destination into a place they’ll always hold in their hearts.
