Do I need a visa or special documents to cross into Paraguay?

No visa is typically required for brief shopping trips to Paraguay for citizens of most countries, but you must carry a valid passport. The crossing is straightforward for tourist purposes.

What's included in the 4.5-hour duration?

The time covers airport pick-up, transfer to Ciudad del Este, shopping time, and hotel drop-off. Exact shopping duration depends on your interests and border wait times, which your guide will manage.

Is the tour in English or Portuguese?

A private guide is included; confirm the language at booking. Most guides in the Iguazu region are bilingual (Portuguese/English), with Spanish also common.

Can I buy large items like electronics without issues?

Yes, but confirm with customs regulations for your home country before purchasing. Your guide can advise on what's permitted. Keep receipts for items over duty-free thresholds.

What if I need more time shopping—can the tour extend?

Private tours offer flexibility. Discuss extended hours or modified itineraries with your operator at booking; additional fees may apply.

Are credit cards accepted in Ciudad del Este shops?

Many major shopping centres accept cards, but smaller vendors primarily accept cash (Brazilian Real, US Dollars, or Paraguayan Guaraní). Bring cash to avoid missing deals or paying exchange premiums.
