Asuncion

by Pete.Gibson - last update: Sep 17, 2005

Asuncion Capital of Paraquay

The Cathedral
Well worth a visit to this quiet backwater, spend a couple of days here ,most of the museums and Art galleries have nothing witten in english so a knowedge of Spanish is a deffinate advantage resturants and bars are very cheap a meal with a couple of beers will cost abour $6-7 or £4ish
Nice to find a small pavement cafe and just people watch
A visit to the old railway station, lovery old timber building this was the railhead in years gone by, now there is no rail connection left only a collection of old carriages and a dinky little steam engine
This Building whilst looking like a church is infact a memorial to War Heores, and there is a nice little park just behind where you can sit and watch the world go by......The local Indians sell their wares around this square

 Nice little page. Paraguay is on my "off the beaten path" list of places to visit.

 I would love to visit Asuncion. Everyone seems to skip it on their South America tours which makes it all the more appealing.

 A very good overview of a city that's not on everybody's list. Well done Pete!
