I met a lot of people in Paraguay like you. It definitely attracts the ‘libertarian’ types.

The US is amazingly geographically diverse and has some of the best mountains, beaches, forests, foliage, canyons, glaciers, deserts, and everything in between.

It’s possible that many people find Switzerland’s mountains more beautiful than those in the United States, but that comes down to personal taste. Glacier Nat’l Park rivals Switzerland in my book, though I do really love Swiss alpine architecture. And many may find Norway’s fjords more stunning, and NZ… etc.

All that to say—people will always have their favorite “this” or “that”. But where the US shines is having the broadest range of ecosystems to offer, which easily makes it one of the most beautiful countries I’ve visited.
