Program details
Spend a delightful evening in a Paraguayan restaurant where you may enjoy delicious Paraguayan cuisine and appreciate traditional live music and dance performances. This all-inclusive dinner-show with transfers to and from your hotel will provide a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all.
A friendly driver will pick you up from your designated hotel and escort you to the restaurant. Feel the warm welcome from your hosts as you are greeted with lovely Paraguayan guitar by the talented professional musicians. Paraguayan music is distinctly special, with its origins in Europe based on the instruments of the harp and the guitar. It is a strange phenomenon to witness Paraguayans playing European-style harps adopted from Europe and yet know that they mainly still speak their indigenous language. There are two main genres of Paraguayan music, the Polka or Purajhei which has been adapted from its European original to one with its own Paraguayan flavour and the Guaranda, a slower version which, unlike the former, is not danceable.
Witness a performance of the famed bottle dance wherein a solo dancer will demonstrate a high level of skill through balancing bottles on her head whilst dancing. Other popular dances include “Valseados”, a local version of the waltzes, like for example “El Chopí”, “Santa Fe”, “Taguató”, “Golondrina” and “Solito. While your eyes are feasting on the performance, let your hunger be satisfied with a complete BBQ preceeded by some traditional Paraguayan ""bocaditos"". After the feast you'll be able to see the lights of Asuncion at night whilst you cruise accross the city on your way to your hotel. This is an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
