3. When is the best time to travel to Paraguay for business?
Avoid conducting business meetings in Paraguay in January and February, when most Paraguayans take vacations.

It is important to schedule business appointments at least two to three weeks in advance and confirm them once you have arrived.
4. What is the business day like in Paraguay?
The business day usually begins at 9 a.m. and ends at around 7 p.m. Lunch does not begin before 12 noon and two or even three-hour breaks are not uncommon because napping usually follows lunch. On Saturday, the time for doing business is between 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
5. Is English widely spoken?
Many Paraguayan businesspeople are well-educated professionals who travel internationally and may speak other languages. However, not all speak English, and foreigners will often find the ability to speak Spanish very useful, if not an absolute must. The population of European descent (mainly German or Dutch) predominantly speak their own languages at home.
