Villarica from above, Paraguay

Villarica from above, starting with one of the two capybaras located in Manuel Ortiz Guerrero Park. Villarica is a rather large city in the middle of the Eastern Region of Paraguay. It is the capital and most populous city of Guairá.

People in europe say they live so closely tegether due to lack of space. Yet it must be human nature when we see the same thing where land is plentiful and affordale.
Another good video.

Yes, it's human nature to come together. We are wired to live as a group and a long long time ago, being alone often meant that you were going to die. Now, for Paraguay, you see population being concentrated in some area. The Greater Asuncion area has something like a million and a half People (as per stats). The rest of the population is spread across dozens of cities and towns. There are also hundreds of tiny villages and you find People living in the country side, in the middle of nowhere. They often keep the land. In Paraguay, most of the land is owned by a small part of the People and thus this also drive where People will settle and live. If this is not your land, you won't live there usually.

@ParaguaytranquiloO i have seen some news reports about indigenous people fighting for land...some big protest in Asuncion...seems not so successful for them though?...it is difficult to find more factual info in that regard.
Also news on poverty and landless people in Paraguay .
As u know the ownership of land is a problem in many countries. Chile, Brazil and Argentina all have some issues.
Maybe the mixing of the locals with whites in the past will help somewhat?

@@terrybaikie2181 Land inequality in Paraguay is high. In under countries under developed or in development, the government often works for the wealthy and wealthy folks tend to despise poor folks. I felt this in India and i do feel this here. In this context, poor folks struggle.
A lot of white folks arriving here don't want to mix with local folks. This is the reality. Many white folks are happy to take advantage of the country but not to help. There is a opportunity to create more synergies between Western newcomers and local folks. I should make a video on this topic as it's an important topic. Thanks for raising it.

@@ParaguaytranquiloO It's certainly nice to hear your thoughts. Such a video will be interesting indeed. If the locals are welcoming of immigrants it would be advantageous for everyone.

@@terrybaikie2181 Paraguayans have always been welcoming to immigrants given the history of the country, having received many immigrants over the centuries. Presently about 40% of the population is white. Many second and third-generation Germans, Italians, Russians, etc., don't speak the language anymore, just Spanish. The exception are the Mennonites, settled in the Chaco region. They speak Plattdeutsch (low German). And Spanish, of course. As stated above, there are deep socio-economic class differences among the well-to-do, and the poor population. And as usual, the poor tend to lose out. At this time, there are no more than 30,000 pure indigenous Indians in the country. Native aborigines as we know have been abused in the new world (The Americas) over the centuries, North (the US) and South (Latin America),
