Requests for reservations should be addressed directly to the hotels by 5 June 2017. After that date, the hotels reserve the right to modify the rates and cannot guarantee room availability. Please use the form on page 7 to make a reservation.
Delegates are responsible for their own reservations. It is therefore advisable to check that the hotel has processed your reservation and to request a reservation number or confirmation code.
A credit card number is required to hold the reservation. Hotels in Paraguay apply a “no show” policy; cardholders may cancel reservations up to 48 hours in advance, failing which they will be charged for the first night. All delegates must settle their own hotel bill at the end of their stay.
Entry requirements for Paraguay
The citizens of most countries do not require a visa to enter Paraguay, but a valid passport is needed. Holders of regular, diplomatic or official passports who require visas should contact their nearest Paraguayan embassy or consulate, as appropriate (more information is available on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Paraguay: www.mre.gov.py).
Local transport
Participants are responsible for their own transport to and from the airport and the hotel.
