Paraguay is riddled with dangerous people armed robbery, car jacking and multiple murders are common.Spend your money in Uruguay we don't have any problems here even in Montevideo.

Born and raised here........Internationally speaking, I guess it's cheap, not as Low as everybody's hoping. You should be set with 2000$ USD a month to be really comfortable. To live tightly....1200$.
