Walking back and forth across the border between Brazil and Paraguay
#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025
The original plan was to take a historic photo at the "landmark building" on the tri-border of Paraguay. However, because I couldn't understand Portuguese, I got in the wrong boarding gate and missed my domestic flight ✈️. The next flight shortened my travel time by 5 hours, so I could only walk back and forth between the two borders of Brazil and Paraguay.
The Tri-Border Landmark is a geographical point full of symbolic significance and tourist potential. The Brazilian and Argentinian Landmarks receive around 5 million visitors per year; however, on the Paraguayan side there is a lack of architecture, although there is an ambitious project but no funds to implement it.
No visa application is required for a one-day trip to Uruguay. There is a one-day visa processing office on the border between Brazil and Paraguay. Due to the compressed travel time, you can only go shopping and purchase across the border. Paraguay is really poor and backward, and many Brazilian residents save a lot of money by buying daily necessities across the border!
