Paraguay offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty, making it an intriguing option for some Nicaraguan travelers. Although it may not be widely recognized as a tourist destination, the diverse experiences available could appeal to a portion of the 400,000 Nicaraguans who travel abroad annually.
Paraguay is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists compared to Nicaragua. According to the Global Peace Index, Paraguay ranks 71st out of 160 countries, while Nicaragua is ranked 111th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Paraguay is 7.8 per 100,000 people, which is lower than Nicaragua's rate of 11.0. Additionally, female murder rates are also lower in Paraguay (1.9) compared to Nicaragua (3.1). The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while both countries face challenges with organized crime, Paraguay has slightly higher indices in areas such as crime networks and state crime. However, it scores better in terms of heroin trade and resource crime. Overall, tourists from Nicaragua may find Paraguay to be a safer option for travel.
