Macarena Tomas has been preparing to represent Paraguay at Miss Earth 2022 this November in the Philippines but unfortunately was disqualified due to the age limit. The 29-year-old international aero yoga (aerial yoga) instructor who was named Miss Tierra Paraguay during the Reinas del Paraguay national competition in August, failed the Miss Earth organization's age limit requirement which is 18-28 years of age (until December 2022). There is no confirmation yet whether a new representative will be selected to be sent to this year's Miss Earth edition or too late for it, but as of this writing, Paraguay has been removed from the list of delegates on the pageant's official website. Here's the announcement: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Reinas del Paraguay (@reinasparaguay) Photos: Guillermo Fridman / Reinas del Paraguay
