Products cost less in Ciudad del Este than in Foz de Iguaz\u00fa, in part because the tax burden in Brazil can make items 20 to 30 percent more expensive. As a result, Zaracho buys his vegetables for the restaurant in Paraguay en route to the border.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brazil and Paraguay share families, cultures and indigenous Guaran\u00ed roots. The two countries were enemies during one of Latin America\u2019s&nbsp; worst wars of the 19th century \u2014 the War of the Triple Alliance \u2014 but through economic cooperation they strengthened their ties during the 20th century, collaborating on the Itaipu hydroelectric dam on the Paran\u00e1 River border and the regional trade bloc Mercosur (the Southern Common Market), established in 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every day, 100,000 people cross the Friendship Bridge, with 25% of them arriving on foot. Crossing is free, and residents of Brazil and Paraguay only need their passports manually stamped if they plan on staying longer than one day or traveling more than 30 km from the border.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the journey, the two official lanes of the bridge become four. Motorcycles go back and forth between cars in opposite directions, almost bumping their knees as they pass each other. It\u2019s often over 35C (95F), and the humidity is so high the air hangs over the bridge like a cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By weaving in and out of the traffic, motorcycles can cross the bridge in less than 10 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., crossing the bridge by car can take three or four hours, while at night, without truck traffic, it takes about half an hour. Otherwise it\u2019s a 25-minute walk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTraffic is not easy. There are accidents on the bridge every day,\u201d Zaracho says one morning in December. \u201cNow, just as we passed, a motorcycle crashed next to us. There are people who die there, but I&#8217;m used to it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August 2023, a taxi driver was killed on the bridge, followed by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.com.py\/este\/2023\/09\/09\/reportan-accidente-fatal-en-el-puente-de-la-amistad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">motorcyclist in September<\/a>. These deaths led to a demonstration demanding better traffic conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zaracho has to avoid the cones, fences and police on his motorcycle in order to safely cross \u2014 a skill few have.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zaracho works without a contract in a Japanese restaurant with Chinese owners in Foz de Iguaz\u00fa. He collects his salary in Brazilian reals in cash. What he earns depends on the exchange rate. When I meet him, he earns BRL 3,200 ($648), with 1 real worth 1,470 Paraguayan Guarani. It\u2019s double what he would earn in Paraguay doing the same job \u2014 closer to what some managers and officials there would make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>I plan to continue like this for many years.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Zaracho enjoys his work in the kitchen. He says that he likes to cut vegetables in the morning and smell the fresh cilantro. He has an excellent relationship with his colleagues and also with his Chinese bosses, who speak to him in Portuguese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I didn&#8217;t work here, I wouldn\u2019t have my own house,\u201d Zaracho says. \u201cWith a minimum wage in Paraguay, I would not be able to do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyday he leaves his house at 9.30 a.m. and returns at 10.30 p.m. \u2014 besides on Mondays when he has the day off. \u201cNo vacation, no nothing,\u201d he says. During his shifts, he has half an hour to eat and an hour more to rest in the afternoon. Despite all the effort, he believes it is worth it: \u201cI plan to continue like this for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/SCTstory-5.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"block--author\">      <div class=\"block-author__inner\">\n        <div class=\"author--image\">\n                      <a href=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/author\/santi-carneri-tamaryn\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/santicrneri-298x305.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n                  <\/div>\n        <div class=\"author--info\">\n                      <a href=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/author\/santi-carneri-tamaryn\/\" class=\"author--name\">Santi Carneri Tamaryn<\/a>\n\n          \n          <p>Santi Carneri Tamaryn is a freelance journalist, writer, photographer, TV producer and documentary creator who has been a correspondent based in Paraguay since 2013 for international media such as: The New York Times, The Guardian, Vice News, BBC, Associated Press, France Press, Der Spiegel and Deutsche Welle (Germany) and El Pa\u00eds (Spain), among others.
