Paraguay is a landlocked country in South America. It is traversed by the Rio Paraguay from north to south and divided into two clearly distinguishable geographical regions. The Western Region (Región Occidental), also known as the Chaco, consists of rather arid plains, while the Eastern Region (Región Oriental) has more grassy and forested hills. The climate is tropical to subtropical. In Paraguay, only dry seasons and rainy seasons alternate.
