Things to Do in Asuncion
After getting your bearings with Asuncion Free Walking Tours, make sure to go exploring Paraguayan cuisine, such as 'chipa guazu' (savory corn cake) or 'yuca empanada' (breaded cassava). There's lots to try here, and most of it is delicious! Do you prefer outdoor activities? Then visit the Botanical Gardens just a short ride from the center. The old estate of the Lopez dynasty has been converted to house a small zoo and nature reserve, a natural history museum, and a gallery focusing on indigenous cultures. If museums are your thing, don’t miss the opportunity to check out the Barro Museum. It has everything from indigenous crafts to political caricatures. You can arrive there by bus, but if you miss the Shopping del Sol stop, fear not, as you will go through Nu Guaz Park. Its lakes and walking trails provide a lovely relaxing afternoon walk.
