Today I thought today I was going to talk about tourist attractions, so I will. An amazing tourist attraction is the Iguassu Falls. The waterfall is split between three countries; Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Most of the waterfall is shared between Argentina and Brazil. There are many things you can do at the falls, for example; take a helicopter ride, a jet boat excursion. Some other activities are being part of a jungle safari, rappelling and visit the Itaipu Dam.

The Itaipu dam is a hydroelectric plant that was built between 1975 and 1991. Brazil helped in the building of the dam.  The dam has 18 units and produces 12,600 MW of power. The dam powers about 75% of Paraguay. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, Paraguay is known as one of the seven wonders of modern day. There are 2 tourist attractions, but there are plenty more.

Today I'm going to be talking to you about Paraguay's sports. Paraguay is very responsible when it comes to hosting international tournaments. Players from all around the world would agree that the authority showered them with great hospitality. Football (soccer) is the most popular sport in Paraguay. A Dutchman named, William Paats, was the first one to introduce football in Paraguay. At first it was only for the elite class, but everybody else quickly started to play as well. In 1900 a small tournament was held in Plaza de Armas in Asuncion.  The tournament drew a huge crowd. William then decided to create the first football team in Paraguay. Thee club was created in 1902 and was called “Olimpia Football Club.” It was later renamed “Club Olimpia.” In 1906 the governing body of football, the Paraguayan Football Association, was created.

Hey everybody, today I will talking about the Paraguayan flag. The first time Paraguay used red, white, and blue was when they went to defend Buenos Aires, when Britain was invading them. The earliest recorded date of Paraguay using a tri-colour flag was August 15, 1812. On one side of the flag they had the arms of Ausincion, and the arms of the king of Spain on the other side. The colours on the flag all have different meanings. Red stands for patriotism, heroism, and justice. White stands for peace and purity. Blue stands for love and liberty. The Paraguayan flag wasn't completely described until 1842. Before 1842, Paraguay had many different variations of flags. Dr. Francia modified the Paraguayan flag, and that flag was used till after his death. The Paraguayan flag has had three main colours, red, white, and blue, since 1806 when the troops used them. well there you go, now you have some insight to Paraguay's flag.
