The Natalia Foundation's Mission House is a 6500 sq. ft. modern structure with 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 1 outdoor grill area bathroom; internet access, in-ground pool; full kitchen; and air conditioning. Mission trips are a minimum of 7 days up to 14 days. Many visitors also plan for a 10 day trip. Chaperones required for kids – one each for boys/girls.
We promise a fulfilling mission trip experience for you. Actual mission work only constitutes 4 days (maybe a few more for 14 day trips). The rest of your time will be planning excursion trips to learn more about the culture and all that Paraguay has to offer in both beautiful landscapes and unique cultures.

Travel Info
Things To Know
Climate: Seasons in South America are the opposite of North America's. However, Central Paraguay, including Asunción, features a hot, subtropical climate with temperatures generally ranging from the upper 50s°F to low 90s°F throughout the year. Summers (Oct–Mar) are hot and muggy, often exceeding 90s°F daily, while winters (May–Aug) are short and comfortable, with highs around 70-80s°F and lows in the upper 50s°F.
Paraguayan Language: Guaraní is the primary native and indigenous language of Paraguay, spoken by over 90% of the population, including non-indigenous people. It is a co-official language alongside Spanish, making Paraguay unique in Latin America for having a widely spoken indigenous language.
Currency: Paraguay accepts the exchange of the US Dollars and the official currency is the Paraguayan Guarani (PYG); however, be cautious with large bills (like $100) - they have to be as pristine as possible when exchanging, and use official exchange points due to counterfeits. The condition of the paper bill does affect the value of a US to PTG exchange. As of MAR 2026, One US Dollar was equal to 6391.00 Guaranis (PYG).
