Ciudad del Este

Shopping is the main business of the visitors. The main shopping streets are San Blas and Camilo Recalde, where you can buy about anything and everything. Many people come for electronics.

If you want to buy electronics such as cellphones or cameras, make sure you do this:

Ask to test the device if it works. Never give it back to the shopkeeper/assistant as that person might exchange the device with faulty versions or hand the box back filled with paper but not with what you just bought.
