Asunción is a shopping paradise for those who know where to look. From high-end electronics at low taxes to exquisite leather goods. Skip the counterfeit traps and the “gringo prices.” Let us guide you to the genuine deals.
Paraguay is known as the “China of South America” for a reason—the prices for imported electronics and goods can be incredibly low due to favorable tax laws. But for the visitor, the landscape is confusing.
Entering the electronics district or the bustling markets without local knowledge is risky. How do you know if that iPhone is genuine or a high-quality copy? How do you know if you are paying the “local price” or the inflated “tourist price”?
Navigating the traffic between malls, carrying bags in the heat, and negotiating in Spanish can turn a fun shopping spree into a stressful afternoon.
We are your filter. We cut through the noise to take you directly to the authorized retailers and the hidden factory outlets that only locals know.
Think of us as your efficiency experts. Tell us what you are looking for—a new camera lens, a designer handbag, high-quality leather boots, or the latest gaming console—and we build a route that gets you exactly that, at the best possible price.
Paraguay is a haven for tech lovers. We guide you to reputable stores in the “Villa Morra” and “Centro” districts where you can buy genuine laptops, cameras, and smartphones at prices often lower than in the US or Europe. We verify the warranties and ensure the products are sealed and original.
Escape the heat and step into world-class luxury. We visit Shopping del Sol and Paseo La Galería, the architectural jewels of the city. Here, you will find international brands alongside top-tier Paraguayan designers who work with high-quality fabrics and cuts.
You cannot leave Paraguay without smelling the leather. We take you to the specific boutiques that sell export-quality leather bags, jackets, and belts. These are not cheap souvenirs; these are lifetime investment pieces at a fraction of the international cost.
In many independent stores, the price is negotiable—but only if you speak the language and know the margins. We handle the haggling for you. Often, the savings you make on your purchases cover the cost of our service.
Carrying expensive purchases around a foreign city can make you feel vulnerable. With our private vehicle and local guide, you have a secure environment. You can leave your bags in the car while we move to the next stop, hassle-free.
We know the difference between a “Grade A Copy” and the real thing. We protect your wallet from scams.

In many cases, yes, or very comparable. Paraguay has a low tax regime on imported electronics. However, the real advantage is availability and the lack of sales tax compared to some US states/European VAT.
Yes, most electronics stores love US Dollars. In fact, you often get a better price paying in cash USD than with a credit card. We will advise you on when to use cash vs. card.
We ensure you buy "Global Version" unlocked devices. We check the voltage (Paraguay is 220V) and plug types to ensure compatibility or help you buy the correct adapters.
Our loyalty is to you, the client. While some guides take commissions to steer you to expensive shops, we prioritize getting you the best deal to ensure you leave a 5-star review. We work for you.
No. Shopping in Asunción requires driving between districts (e.g., moving from the Old Center to the new Corporate Axis). We use a car to maximize your time and comfort.
Mercado 4 is an intense, chaotic, and fascinating experience (like the movie 7 Cajas). If you are adventurous, yes, we can guide you there safely. However, for high-end electronics or luxury fashion, we stick to the safer, formal commercial districts.
Weekdays (Monday-Friday) are best to avoid crowds. However, malls are open and lively on weekends. Avoid Sunday mornings for downtown/street shops as many will be closed.
If you buy large items (like furniture or art), we can connect you with reliable international courier services (DHL/FedEx) to arrange shipping home, though this is a separate cost.
Don’t Navigate the Chaos Alone. Shopping in a foreign country can be a gamble. One counterfeit device or “tourist price” markup can cost you hundreds of dollars. Don’t take that risk.
