Paraguay offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty, making it an intriguing destination for some Belizeans. Although it may not be widely recognized in global tourism, those who visit can experience a diverse range of cultural and natural attractions.
Paraguay is generally considered safe for tourists, especially when compared to Belize. According to the Global Peace Index, Paraguay ranks 71st out of 160 countries, while there is no available data for Belize. In terms of crime statistics, Paraguay has a significantly lower murder rate of 7.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Belize's 31.2. Additionally, female murder rates are also lower in Paraguay (1.9) than in Belize (5.5). When looking at organized crime, both countries face challenges, but Paraguay has higher indices for state crime (8.0) and foreign crime (8.5), indicating more significant issues in these areas compared to Belize. However, Paraguay has a lower score in the heroin trade (1.0) compared to Belize (3.5), suggesting less involvement in this specific crime. Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, Paraguay's lower murder rate and specific crime statistics may make it a safer destination for tourists coming from Belize.
