Paraguay is known as the "red earth's country" and is home to unique handcrafts like ñanduty lace. The landscape includes the Paraguay River and giant anthills surrounded by red earth and coconut trees. Typical old houses are built from mud, bricks, and tiles to withstand the tropical climate. Notable landmarks include the Palacio Lopez government building, San Buenaventura's Church built by Franciscan monks in 1772, and Lake Ipacarai which is famous for its blue waters. Mate tea, consumed daily, involves steeping yerba mate leaves in a gourd and sucking the infusion through a metal straw.
