Visas are not required for most US, Canada, Europe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My advice on phoning the embassy is that Australian and New Zealand citizens need a visa [http://www.mre.gov.py/australia/csVisa.htm]which costs US$135 for Australians or US$140 New Zealanders. The embassy is in Canberra and processing takes 2-5 days plus mailing time. However Wikipedia indicates that you can get a visa on arrival at the Asuncion main airport [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Paraguay#Oceania] this may be true and the phone advice incomplete or Wikipedia may be out of date.&lt;br /&gt;

== eduTRIP! 2011 --- Community Exploration Tour --- Saturday April 30 to Thursday May 5 ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;DETAILS EMERGING BELOW AND ON OUR &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;[[Talk:Conozco Uruguay Tour|DISCUSSION BLOG!]]&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Why ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Conozco Uruguay (C U!) community exploration tour will bring South American (and the world&#039;s) most passionate edutechnologists and committed teachers/mentors together, to witness Uruguay&#039;s and Plan Ceibal&#039;s profound journey.  In conjunction with Uruguay&#039;s stongest volunteers, from CeibalJAM! to RAP Ceibal to Flor de Ceibo and beyond.  As the single country which has done the most with [http://laptop.org One Laptop per Child]&#039;s XO Laptop and [http://sugarlabs.org Sugar Labs&#039;] software (the Sugar Learning Platform) there are few places on earth where humankind&#039;s increasing marriage to educational technology is on more vivid display.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similar to the famous Sugar Activity [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Conozco_Uruguay Conozco] [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4199 Uruguay] itself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Who is Welcome ==&lt;br /&gt;
Tech-savvy education people from around South America.  Education-savvy hackers from around the world.  While [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ClassActs/Resources OLPC and Sugar Labs experience] is not required -- nor is Spanish fluency -- enthusiasms around bringing exploratory learning into the 21st century are!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We assume participants will also participate in Montevideo&#039;s [[Uruguay Summit 2011]] May 5-7, focusing on practical futures for free educational software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, attendance will in fact be limited to a maximum number of (approximately) 15 independent travelers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Itinerary ==&lt;br /&gt;
Participants must be independent, able to travel lightly and completely self-sufficiently.  Day trips in and around Montevideo, from Saturday April 30 until Wednesday/Thursday May 4/5.

Alternate ideas: (ASK US!)&lt;br /&gt;
* BAP (Barrio de Atención Prioritaria) a low-income Montevideo neighborhood, with [http://rapceibal.blogspot.com RAP Ceibal] Saturday Apr 30?&lt;br /&gt;
* Euskal Erria&lt;br /&gt;
* Las Piedras&lt;br /&gt;
* Maldonado&lt;br /&gt;
* Tala (rural)&lt;br /&gt;
* Cardal (1st OLPC school)&lt;br /&gt;
* Paso de los Toros (small city)&lt;br /&gt;
* Salinas ([[User:Bernie|Bernie]] recommends)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== How on Earth is this Possible? ==&lt;br /&gt;
Volunteers from RAP Ceibal, CeibalJAM! and Flor de Ceibo have spent over 3 years building real-world community networks to bring Uruguay&#039;s youth and families more meaningfully into the 21st century.  If globalism means anything at all, it means paying full and proper respect to people like these who organize to make a difference!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Housing ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hostel-style options to be determined. Uruguayans eat well!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uruguay (generally) uses [http://treehouse.ofb.net/go/en/voltage/Uruguay 220V European] [http://www.adaptelec.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&amp;amp;products_id=252 electrical outlets] so please consider bringing a small converter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wifi access will be sought where possible, but not guaranteed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please see [[Talk:Conozco Uruguay Tour|&#039;&#039;&#039;Discussion&#039;&#039;&#039;]]  page for questions and discussion related to Housing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cost ==&lt;br /&gt;
Expect to pay $300-500 or higher for housing/food/bus etc to cover your 6 days, from Saturday April 30 to Thursday May 5 inclusive.  Homestays may reduce this cost if we are so lucky to build strong local relationships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Pre-Registration ==&lt;br /&gt;
Please write to [mailto:holt@laptop.org holt@laptop.org] explaining what you hope to bring to the group!  Thanks for including the reasons you&#039;re interested -- and what you want to get out of this lifetime opportunity.  Remember to list ALL allergies and medical conditions, roommate preferences, as well as your phone number(s).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reality Check: If you are looking for packaged voluntourism and flush toilets at every turn, you&#039;ve come to the wrong place.  Have you traveled in developing countries before?  You must be an independent traveler, open-hearted with all comers, understanding Uruguay is a safe country but not without its risks.  &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;And Take Complete [http://www.travel-island.com/health.plan/uruguay.html Medical]/Insurance/Safety/Financial Precautions Now!&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

THANKS everyone for [http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1054.html mindfully preparing] together today, for a trip more rewarding than money can buy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Participants ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;WE ARE NOW AT/NEAR FULL CAPACITY!  Further school-exploration-tour participants will only be accepted in extraordinary circumstances.  Thanks all who signed up below :)&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
