Explore the colonial heart, the neoclassical masterpieces, and the vibrant hidden corners of South America’s most underrated capital. Experience it safely, comfortably, and with deep historical context from a fluent English-speaking expert.
Asunción is a city of incredible layers, but it doesn’t reveal its secrets easily to the casual visitor. The historic downtown (El Centro) is fascinating, but navigating it alone can be overwhelming. Between the legendary Paraguayan heat, the language barrier, aggressive traffic, and knowing which streets are welcoming and which to avoid, many tourists miss the real magic. We don’t just show you buildings; we provide the context, the safety, and the logistical support so you can focus purely on the experience.

Asunción is one of the oldest cities in South America, once the staging ground for Spanish colonial expansion.
We begin where the nation began. We will visit the Casa de la Independencia (House of Independence), a modest 18th-century home where, in 1811, patriots plotted the overthrow of Spanish rule without firing a single shot. We’ll walk the historic streets and stand before the majestic Panteón Nacional de los Héroes. This architectural jewel, inspired by Les Invalides in Paris, is the final resting place of Paraguay’s most complex historical figures, including the López family.
You cannot understand modern Paraguay without understanding the immense resilience forged in its early history and its devastating wars. We tell those stories right where they happened.

In the late 1800s, Paraguay longed to be the “Paris of South America,” resulting in stunning European architecture sitting on the banks of a tropical river.
We move toward the bay to witness the exterior of the Palacio de los López. This stunning pink palace is the symbol of the government and the city’s most photographed landmark. We then transition to the modern Costanera, the sprawling riverwalk built to reconnect the city with the mighty Paraguay River. It offers the best panoramic views of the skyline and a breath of fresh air.
It captures the visual contrast of Asunción: ornate European dreams set against a rugged, subtropical landscape.
