The capital Asunción and surrounding towns
The pleasant capital, Asunción, becomes a hub of life during the week, but is more like a quiet village on a Sunday when locals head out of town or spend time with their families. It is easy to travel around, and the smell of jasmine often lingers in the air. The river front on the Paraguay river is busy and vibrant. There are several small towns within easy reach of Asunción, all with their own charms.
