With Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil forming a triple border near Foz do Iguaçu, we took advantage of their proximity and visited all three nations. While in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, I took the obligatory shot of some Paraguayan flags shown above. According to some sources, let’s say, Wikipedia, Ciudad del Este accounts for 60% of Paraguay’s GDP, due to its free-for-all shopping zone. Additionally, some intelligence analysts claim, controversially, that the area’s Muslim population might be funding or supporting terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda or Hezbollah.
