Por Qué Visitar Asunción
Deep Indigenous Guaraní Culture: Engage with one of the Americas' most resilient indigenous cultures. Hear the Guaraní language spoken everywhere, see ñandutí lace being made, and participate in the ritual of sharing tereré (cold yerba mate), the national drink that defines social connection.
Compelling Colonial & Historical Layers: Discover a complex history at sites like the National Pantheon of the Heroes, final resting place of national figures, and the stunning Government Palace (Palacio de los López). Explore nearby UNESCO Jesuit Missions like Trinidad and Jesús for a profound look at 17th-century history.
Incredible Value for Budget Travelers: Enjoy some of South America's lowest prices. A hearty meal of sopa paraguaya and grilled meat can cost under $5, local buses are a few thousand Guaranís, and comfortable mid-range hotels are a fraction of regional capitals' prices.
