ASUNCION, Paraguay (AP) Paraguayan officials say they have recovered the bodies of 11 people who died when a tourist boat capsized in the Paraguay River during a storm.
The boat carrying 11 Paraguayan crew members and 16 Brazilian tourists went down Wednesday at the northern town of Carmelo Peralta. The tourists were on a fishing expedition to the Pantanal, a wetlands region straddling the border with Brazil about 370 miles (600 kilometers) north of Paraguay's capital, Asuncion.
Twelve of the 27 people on the boat were able to swim to shore after the vessel turned over. Of the 11 bodies recovered so far, three were found on Saturday. Four people are still missing.
