Paraguay has been said to be the happiest country in the world. Everything is very relaxed here. One of the main pastimes is drinking Tereré. The way that the people here sit in groups, talk, and relax reminds me a lot of Andy and Barney relaxing on the front porch (from the Andy Griffith Show).
Tereré is more than just the national drink here in Paraguay. It is a way to spend time with friends and share what is going on, a source of hydration, offers natural health remedies for just about everything, is a direct connection to local history, and so much more. Sharing the same cup with your friends is a way to show that you care and you value spending time with them.
Here are some excellent videos that explain really well about the people of Paraguay and some reasons why they are happy. We hope you enjoy these videos and learn something new.
