    • 很熱
    • 因為很熱，所以這裡的人獨愛凍mate茶，叫它 terere，平常也帶個大水壺出街，好放水放冰泡茶喝（mate茶是智利、 阿根廷、烏拉圭、南巴西原住民的傳統飲料，但除了巴拉圭外，其他地方的人只會喝熱的）
    • 人很友善又樂於助人，只是有時有點怕生
    • 沒有上高山，落油鑊的旅遊勝地，所以遊客很少
    • 平價旅館比 backpacker 便宜，只要 you are not a 窿
    • 北部荒涼，人少，只得一條主要公路連接玻利維亞是柏油路，其他都是泥路
    • 窮，基建還很不完善，很多窮孩子在街上擦鞋賺錢
    • 原來曾經很富庶，只因一場毀滅性的三國聯盟之戰，給阿根廷，巴西和象徵式參戰的烏拉圭打到全軍覆滅，總統陣亡，三分二男人死光。從此便踏上貧窮之路，一蹶不振，都算可歌可泣
