- In this deep dive we speak with our Canadian friend ‘El Chaco’, who has much to share. From buying land and building to dealing with banks and integrating with the Paraguay community, El Chaco and his family have established a beautiful property that’s well on its way to self-sustainability.
El Chaco has hit some hurdles along the way and how those situations have played out are particularly interesting. Anyone who is considering looking for property in Paraguay would do well to grab a pen, pad & coffee.

In the department of "Alto Paraná" they are like gazillion (poor) Brazilian squatters. It's been going on for decades.
Interesting. I am Swiss, lic.oec. living in Paraguay since 2014. Own Granja and a big Duplex house near Asu. Always in my back a super aggressive loyer for everything I do.. I just can recommend. Can be difficult doing things on your own. Living independently is difficult, not to underestimate. I work with paraguayan farmers with much experience, even than it is difficult. The thing that works is animals. Make sure you have an own groundwater access (pozo tertiano) y solar energy. TITULO IS CRUCIAL. SPANISH IS MANDATORY AND ENOUGH MONEY. Life in Paragauy was fine until 2021/22. The downturn of the economy is extremely affecting the daily life and people are desparate and poor. NEVER underestimate this.. FIRST COMES FOOD and later on MORALITY. Clearly visible in this developing poor country. You need to know their way of life to avoid falling into troubles.
Thanks for your great insights. Your advice is so valuable and what we are trying to convey. This is a different world. Unfortunately, for many who are coming here they have to find a way to make it because their countries have become a nightmare. Unfortunately, things are going to get harder so the lessons that you give in your advice is something that we need to learn fast.
Yes, I think I don`t go there, Paraguay has to many issues. The gap between poor locals and richer expats is to big, it`s a highly fragile state, even one part of the country is sectionist and I saw a video here on YT in which natives reported they are systematically discriminated by the Paraguayians. The democracy isn`t evolved quite far there as well.
Excellent interview. Thank you
Our pleasure!
Hear this to often, sounds like a nightmare buying property throughout South America
Can be. Better to go in with eyes open for sure. Getting an accurate survey before buying is a must.
El Salvador drained the swamp.... now considered one of the most safest places to live
Excellent subject and video 🤠👍
This was great. Thank you!
Thanks, good information.
Excellent advice
Another great interview. You be an expert by the time your finished. Scary but exciting at the same time.
Thanks Jacqueline. It can be a bit scary. There's loads of success stories out there. I think we need to mention that in the next vid. As you know, you can have issues in any country.
In the past in Bavaria we had also this indirect communication, you didn`t have to say certain things to your neighbor to keep the good relation alive, the neighbor knew what you like and what you don`t like, so you didn`t had to say to him he shouldn`t plant his trees directly at the border between his property and your property, but things have changed and people now say after you complained they just were to uninformed to know that the law says you have to plant them 2 m away from the border.
Neighbourly relations have deteriorated around the world. In NZ some of my neighbors wanted to shoot my dog or my goat and some would have stolen my toilet if it hadn't been bolted down. Such are the times, but there are still many good people.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay yes, that`s true.
Thanks Guys!
Thanks for listening, appreciated.
Fantastic Video. Thank you so much for the information. We are planning to visit Paraguay in June and move there the year after. I am in real estate in US and would like to do something down there even though we will be retired when we arrive. Would love to see a video on a Paraguyan version of a Home Depot
Thanks Stephanie. There are some 'big box' stores in some parts of Paraguay, but not around here so much. Being from OZ/NZ I've actually never been to a Home Depot but I think I know how they roll. If we come across one then we'll get onto it for you. Paraguay is quite a decentralized retail experience. Monopolies aren't as obvious as they are in many western countries. Example, there's small hardware stores everywhere...called ferreterias. It's nice, small, family operations, locally supported. But if you want larger department store type places they're around also. The shopping here is actually a step up from NZ. That's not saying much to be honest.
Yet another awesome video with incredible information! Thanks again guys you have really helped my husband and I :).
Glad to be of assistance.
Thanks fellas, very important lessons to learn.
Cheers Wil, I learned a lot too.
All the way from Calgary…couldn’t live with the Oilers kicking the Flames arses eh!? LOL Good on you for making the needed change for a better life 👍
Hey! Hahaha
@@HighTrustChaco Very interesting video. I'm thinking about checking out Paraguay, as the world is not what it used to be. If you don't mind, where about in Paraguay are you living? I think Encarnacion looks very nice, but am open to suggestions about other areas. Of course I would need to sell here first. Great video. Thanks, once again.
@@joeharris6552 I'm located about 90mins-2hrs from Asunción in between Piribebuy and Paraguarí. It's a great location for me and my family. Super chill area, with a little higher elevation meaning we have a slightly cooler climate and some great clean water on site. Canada is a disaster. Get out while you still can!
@@HighTrustChaco It appears that Trudeau is destroying Canada on purpose. Do you think I could have a new 2,500 sq. foot home built in Paraguay for about $150,000? Plus $15,000 for a hectare of land?
@@joeharris6552 That home building cost is absolutely doable. As for the hectare of land, you might be able to find it for that price, but that all depends on where you want to live. Where I'm at, 1-2 hectare properties are going for about C$18,500 per hectare for the kinda spots you'd want to plant your forever-home on.
Dereche de piso isn't just in Paraguay either..
Great material. With this microphone sound is so much better :)
Thanks for that! Appreciated. We have some wireless lapel mics coming and constantly trying to up the audio quality. With this interview I didn't position the mic properly so my voice was a bit more pronounced than El Chaco's but I think it was ok. Thanks for tuning in.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay For my needs I bought a dji mic. It's great.
@@PiotrMajdykowski Thanks, I've read good things. I settled on the Hollyland lark mics. Hopefully will be here for our next vid.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay May they serve you well. Good luck!
That was great, "El Chaco" is quite the character! Canadians are bailing fast, maybe they're a bit more clever than most? I've seen numerous Canadian Families that have fled to RUSSIA, one couple had nine children! Tempus Fugit!
El Chaco is a character alright! Yikes, Russia, really? We've had a few families contact us who have moved to Russia and are now looking at other options. They all say it was great in theory but the bureaucracy is off the charts.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay People everywhere just want to live their lives in peace and provide a future for their children. Places where one can do that unmolested are shrinking fast and Paraguay is one of only a few left. Thanks for your podcast in letting others know there is a place where one can start over.
do they do a actual survey so you know you are actually buying the property you looked at?
Not always. But we wouldn't buy land without it being surveyed.
Where do you buy tilapia?
Depends where you're located. Most people know someone that farms it locally.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Can you install your own pond without a permit?
@@RandyRoth-mo3lz Yes you can.
I am looking for a land, less than a hectare, titled, with electricity and water. My budget is between 5000 to 10000 USD. Any such land available? it can be any where in southern part.
That budget is achievable. The key will be to allow for enough time to look and develop contacts. Let us know if you come, we might know of some options.
@@ADirtCheapLifeParaguay Wonderful. I will be in touch.
Whats the plant that kills sheep/goats?
Sorry, I don't know. If I find out I will let you know.
