A short trip to the agricultural idyll Paraguay

I have long wanted once again the dirty and stuffy, red-hot capital left to finally once again to breathe some country air. Arnaldo was at first not so much that he had to climb on Saturday, right after work, in the car with no air conditioning in order to go to Madame Altos. A week earlier I had met a German who was born in Paraguay, which I really wanted to show the small ranch of his friend of grazing on some of his cattle. In keeping with my new job where I write articles on agriculture and livestock sectors in Paraguay must be sacrificed, however I like to have a day off for me to even watch a small commercial cattle operation. Also, Arnaldo was in high spirits when we left the city behind us and he noted that the German spoke excellent English and had a lot to tell. He was born in Paraguay and has been living between the two worlds. His love for Paraguay sees his ex-wife, unfortunately, not really, and is therefore not really receptive to his proposals, his daughter to take time with Paraguay.

busy lately, always more the question of the possibility of a common existence between Paraguay and Germany. As the love Grandma Pia had noted at the last phone call that it was for me at the time, the seriousness of life to return and finally something in my pension pay discussions on a joint return to Europe at the time permanently on the agenda. By all that I will be the half-wild Paraguay, which I've since brought in Paraguay from the tree (end irony), take on any case in the world of financial crisis and the seriousness and sincerity. The question remains, of course, where we will feel better. You have to say that life here has some advantages that can not be denied. But what I lack is unfortunately often the mental challenge. Because of my European education I can easily leave me here on my education benefit that is a lot smaller when I enter European soil. Where everyone speaks two languages, each studied or worked abroad and the competitive spirit in a society elbow is still something quite different compared to the world of friendship and contacts, in which I know I am moving here as well. On the other hand, all have fun here without a break. Very often, but I lack depth or technical discussions, conversations, from which one can gain some new views or just an evening where you philosophize about God and the world. If you have lived in different "worlds" moves a more and more the question of where to find a place on earth where you met with all the advantages of different cultures together. The German Board of mentality I'm trying on the one hand to bear on the other hand, I think all something that I do not like so well.

Back to the subject have been arriving in Altos we receive from the friends of the Germans with excellent delicacies very friendly. After we laughed a lot with the hosts searched Arnaldo and I a beautiful hotel right on the lake of San Bernardino to allow us time to enjoy properly.

Because Paraguay is quite small, we met in town at night with a friend from Asuncion we enjoyed a few beers before we were in our suite Lake View withdrew. Early the next morning we broke on the estancia, admiring cows and endless meadows and fields, and enjoyed ourselves about how easy it is to do with a bit of cattle money. This does not have the cattle in the barn every day to be cherished and nurtured. This time is simply a large pasture area is available and must be neither Stallausmisten trouble with feeding around.

All alone, the beef fat and juicy and has provided only with the appropriate vaccinations be so that it can be sold. Resent one has only to occasionally grow again and droughts, or giant termite mound, which take up valuable space on the actual pasture grass.

Perhaps that is why the Paraguayan known for his penchant for lounging in the shade of the trees and Terreretrinken. The large land reserves, which provide abundant natural growth in combination with enough rain already a perfect foundation for both agriculture and livestock, without having to abschuften a must. Perhaps that is why it is always good things and not as exhausted as some in Germany, not just the bananas grow in the mouth.

Christmas



Full of anticipation I was feverish to the day where I would learn, even as it is to spend Christmas with the family of my friend. I have never spent Christmas with my boyfriend .... Fortunately, I had to

not buy each a gift that would definitely degenerated in 30 people in stress. Just before Christmas I had're practically a quiet second. In addition, it hit me hard that I do not how else are a couple of days off work. Even the 24TE is to lunch a normal working day. Then you have just released the 25th to the 26th to work again. Nothing with hingammeln cozy under the Christmas tree in front of him! And as the grandmother says that I should come again to the seriousness of life back, but here where I have not even released around Christmas!

Neither Arnaldo, yet I have come to a gift to buy for us. More or less we had to be agreed before that we prefer to save for Europe, as well as we need every single hard-earned Guarani. Nevertheless, had the 24th after work for a present for our elves are purchased. Manuel After we had taken to the airport and it believes that small gifts make the holiday destination in the country almost always for joy, threw Arnaldo and I are in the last Christmas shopping. We waited an hour packed take at the box office figures, and the gift to. Squeezed in the crowds .... horrible. At least the evening was a bit of time to be able to relax in front of the sumptuous Christmas dinner. Not like from 6 to Germany, but from 22 clock we met in the home of a relative of Arnaldo. Eating there think I so against 23 Clock 30th Reason for the delay in food, was the 102-year-old grandmother, who arrived as the last at the party. A fireworks display then 12 and kisses to all present and subsequently followed at some time by 1 clock the mess. I was overjoyed at the fact that it is not always as Barbeque, gave me what has long been hanging to his neck out. Stuffed turkey then corresponded more like my idea, although I would have enjoyed the most like my mother's kitchen. Especially at this holiday time I came back very well how I miss the German food. . . . I also made the time to create something. At two clock I think I was the only one who was weary. The others, including the 102-year-old grandmother, it did not matter in the morning to 3 clock sitting in the garden and drink wine and beer. I would have either liked to see more action to avoid being tired, or have a nice cozy bed. Unfortunately, there was no Christmas story ... and no Christmas carols. All in all, it was very strange in a different Family to celebrate Christmas and I missed my family terribly. Thousands of stories about any other family members that I know not in part, anecdotes from the common past, allusions and jokes, the sense I can not understand ..... Arnaldo however, did not feel totally comfortable and did not want to go home while I'm almost asleep on the chair and was dreaming of Mother's cooking.

Unsuccessful search for the sea monster IPOA

Unsuccessful search for the sea monster IPOA

little late, I collapsed on the tourism leaders of the current Observations, his cousin and I visited the capital of the European Union to provide the smells of a sea monster, who must live in the lake IPoA to go after.

we have taken no food, but two large thermos with ice-cold water. Unfortunately, we had the services of our already 150,000 km traveled VW Gol claim, as the Jeep by Rene just unfortunately once again was in the workshop. Manuel, our EU representatives, had sufficiently smeared with insect repellent and sun cream, but unfortunately suffered a little under a stomach flu, which occur frequently in these latitudes to the hemisphere. Despite the somewhat low-lying cars we seemed to be supplied with sufficient information in order to survive this adventure and had already identified a local responsibility, offered to accompany us to the last km gravel road to the lake. As he saw our car he brought us only to a crossroads, and sent us into the wilderness with the words: "And always just straight" After about a kilometer further we knew no more, because the way clear for liks and right forked and us in front of us blocking the road a house. Bravely we asked of us and put seemingly endless kilometers over hill and dale behind us. Due to the lack of expertise of the three who accompanied me, specialists in other areas, we lost valuable time already at the third fence, the aim was to open and close on the way to the lake.

to know how three German also how the tangle of wire wood and should close again after having it happen again. Particularly intelligent is it when two people is on the one side and a person on the other side of the fence. Very much we laughed, despite the almost unbearable heat and the ever-increasing sweat stains on our shirts. Abnormal noises made the thicket, which caressed the underside of the car. I realized for the first time really that the passenger flow in the streets of Asuncion to turn in the rain but had left some rust on the underbody. Sometimes I meant to feel that my feet only a very thin layer of scrub away. A little tired passed will take about the 10th goal after we had already asked many people for directions and then ended in an impasse. After a turning maneuver in the middle of nowhere, we ended on a different path shortly afterwards in a dead end. There we asked the older landowners for advice

In long narratives, he explained that he was the descendant of a former president of Paraguay and also that after the passing a little tucked away yet other wicket probably almost 2 hours to the lake would need.

Trip into the Green Mbotavi

last he was there, our long awaited visit from Brussels, a European Commission representative, who was brave enough to visit Paraguay! Since we offer a visit finally something, we loaded him right into our car for a bit to finish in the Pampa. Actually, the fun park was in Mbotavi on the map where you can in the Jungle to zoom down a cable car, but unfortunately all the tickets were already sold. Fortunately, we received an invitation from a friend of mine, right next to the Nature Reserve in Mbotavi has a plot. His daughter rode with me for quite some time and he offered me to show me once his property. Even the little Peter from the board, we have taken, that he sometimes can not see the country of Paraguay. He made it in over a month in Paraguay not to leave once Asuncion.





















He is currently in his studies of jurisprudence, in the management station and Industry Chamber of Commerce Germany-Paraguay and is every day totally exhausted by the Paraguayan style of work back to the board.

Well equipped, with a cool box filled with beer and snacks, came the family of the engineer, as we just had some water there.
































After the land explored had, we were immediately fed. At the 5 mangoes that grew on the property, disappeared in the stomach by Manuel, until his face began to turn yellow.





















Before he suffered a shock Mango started, fortunately our short hike to the rocky summit of the property.






























a beautiful view we enjoyed on Forests and mountains. Then we walked through huge tuft of grass by the almost untouched landscape.


















Arnaldo transformed instantly into a host of Discovery Channel, saying without asking natural phenomena or regarded with an expert eye rock formations.


















Most of all he would have one or the other Field study conducted with us, but our host had other ideas and did it skillfully manage the group on his terms. Most fascinated Manuel clearly has the big huge bamboo. Be sure he wanted to see animals, but apart from a few grasshoppers and a few butterflies has unfortunately can not look.



















Once back at the Manuel ate snacks like a mango again, while we have the first beer can intervene. Cozy up in the evening we enjoyed the warming rays of the sun, the tranquility of nature and the lush green of the surrounding trees.

agriculture on a large scale

After I had visited a small farm, introduced himself to me, of course, the question of what exactly is an agricultural Still life in a big way because of? Exactly why the landowners continue in Paraguay as large cars and how you managed a large piece of land in Paraguay, where the government usually can not even ensure that the Land and to a road or electricity and water connected? A work colleague of mine drew my attention to the group Espirito Santo, not only in Paraguay but invests globally with success. The success of this group from Brazil is that they are not one-sided investment, but in addition to the financial industry on a journey and an agricultural industry, so-called "Real Assets" familiar. Offered me a glimpse into the business of the group in Paraguay by a visit to the Estancia Golondrina. Wonderfully comfortable, I traveled with the Director of Group Espirito Santo in Paraguay in a huge, well-tempered by an air-conditioned car in the direction of the vast forests and fields the farm.





over a 17 km dirt road that branches off from the Route 7 approximately at km 235, you get to the entrance of the huge ranch with natural forest reserve. Even while crossing a bridge as a model held in the director told me that all this is held by the owners in state. Man charged in Paraguay while just 10 percent tax must be expected but not that way, electricity or water can be a somewhat provided! economic activity in the heart of dreamers who want nothing more sensual, than at any time on your own land in Paraguay profitable, can A visit to the 24 000 hectares of land in the department Caazapa beat faster. As the director has important things to do, he makes me a forest and an agricultural expert to the side, just as a tourist industry, a driver and a big jeep and sent me free to explore the far reaches of the ranch! would admire

Each of agriculture in a big way, coming in at a drive through the grounds, past more than 1000 hectares of sunflower, soy 6000 hectares and 500 hectares of cotton plantations, to its cost.

endless meander past the paths laid by virgin forest, tree lined avenues, past fields and pastures, to the end of horizon. Even a glimpse of the Paraguayan cattle industry offers to the eye of the beholder at the Estancia 1500 Braford cattle graze vast variety of the surfaces. The complete cycle, from reproduction to produce cattle for slaughter, takes place on the different farms of the group Espirito Santo in Paraguay. Golondrina is specialized in agriculture, leaving the bulk of the other cattle ranches around the country. Here grazing animals remotely reminiscent of the little skinny cows that you admire on smaller ranches can.

is here made the effort to provide the animals with concentrates during periods of drought. To manage this vast ranch successfully, more than 230 direct employees are needed in the harvest phase be supplemented by additional service personnel. The magnitude of the Estancia is playing shows at the giant silos that can hold up to 6,000 tons, as well as on the giant fleet of both harvesters, trucks and other agricultural equipment provides.

1976 came the entrepreneurs group Espírito Santo to Paraguay and acquired the fertile soil in Caazapa for just 130 dollars per hectare. "You can see the times of the resources located on the bottom, it costs of hectares in the region today for the 2800 dollars, "explains Luis Arrellaga Engineer, General Director of Group Espirito Santo Paraguay. 1977 Sociedad Agrícola Golondrina SA was founded, which still forms the heart and center of the administration activities of Espírito Santo Paraguay. Originally there were 20 000 hectares of land on the forest and 4000 hectares of natural soils. In the first years of the big business with the mining and sale of the trees was made, developed from 87 before the still existing livestock. The group Espirito Santo has been hit by financial crisis. "Above all, the financial sector has had to make heavy losses, while we make in the agricultural sector of the fall in prices compared to the peak levels this year in order to create the 30-45%, "says engineer Arrellaga. He further explained that the high prices unlikely that mid-year has been made, were leveled by this invasion and the show until next year, is how the financial crisis will be responsible for the red.

A special feature of the Estancia Golondrina is the natural forest management and care of the natural forest reserve Ypetî. To over 50% of the total area is still largely untouched jungle. 2700 hectares of natural tropical forest is managed since 2003, economically, socially and ecologically sustainable. Willson Fleitas is the person responsible for the care and the reduction of in the forest are be 65 trees. The credibility of sustainable use, a certification completed by the Forest Stewardship Council. Because the reserve is an excellent example of the typical for the region of the forest, he became a "protected wild nature area in private ownership states." Decree with the number 21 346 in 2003 interested in the site invaded farmers but little. In the course of domestically increasingly frequent sieges of private property by landless farmers understand the revolutionary peasants on natural forests as lying land that they could be made available. An open court case against the squatters broke is already taken a verdict against them already like it, just waiting executed by the police be. However, to proceed at the moment in all corners of the land against squatters must, can ever take some time before the non-invited guests will go back. In a beautiful country house, I took a great meal to me. Journalists are treated in this country really excellent. I pressed a little remote control in hand. This pressed the electric bell, which tells the clerk that I would like a lookup, or anything else wanted. Because the food and service were excellent, however, I have this only operated to me to thank the employees and to say goodbye.

most of all I would like stayed in the beautiful house surrounded by cows and pastures, but I wanted to be back in time for dinner with my loved ones. Something sad and totally spoiled I boarded the crowded bus back to Asuncion.
