The Paraguay and Parana Rivers jointly form a 3,302-kilometer waterway system connecting Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It is a major transportation route between the continent's interior and the Atlantic Ocean through the Rio de la Plata, and carries nearly 80 percent of Paraguay's trade.

hope it helps:)
