Cash per day in Paraguay?

I stayed in Asunción and Encarnación and was surprised at how cheap things were. Full restaurant meals with steak, sides, and a drink cost $8-10, while street snacks like chipa bread were $Buses were tiny money - less than $0.50 - and taxis rarely cost more than $5. Tips weren’t huge, 10% max. My daily average was $30, and that felt generous. Paraguay doesn’t have the tourist buzz of Brazil or Peru, but for living affordably, it’s unbeatable. Perfect for someone planning a month-long stay.

Paraguay is affordable. Meals: $4-8 in casual restaurants, $12 in better ones. Transport: $0.50 buses, $5 taxis. Tips: 5-10%. Safe daily budget: $30-35 for meals, transport, and tips. That covers comfortable eating, taxi rides when needed, and leaving tips without overthinking. Tours and activities aren’t as common as in other countries, so you don’t need much extra daily. Paraguay is one of the most budget-friendly spots in South America for long-term stays.

I travelled Paraguay for a month and kept a budget of $40 daily. I had sit-down meals for $7-10, taxis across town for $5, and occasionally went to mid-level restaurants where dinner was $15. Public transport was cheap, under $1 per bus ride. Tips of 10% were standard in restaurants. At $40 per day, I had no issues enjoying meals, transport, and tipping. The country doesn’t have big tourist infrastructure, so prices stay close to what locals pay, which makes it a bargain compared to neighbors.

Paraguay was one of the cheapest countries in South America for me. Local restaurants called comedores served full plates of meat, rice, and salad for $3-5. Street snacks like empanadas were $City buses cost less than $0.50, and taxis were $3-5. Tipping is not strict, 5-10% is enough. A daily budget of $20-25 is more than enough for meals, local transport, and tips. Paraguay doesn’t have big tourist mark-ups like Argentina or Brazil, which makes long stays easy and affordable.
