Asunción, Paraguay
May 1, 2023
Nuestra Señora Santa María de la Asunción, Paraguay, (Asunción), population: about a half million people. In the metropolitan area are more than 3 million. The city was founded in August 1537, so it is one of the oldest cities in South America. It is considered to be the third safest city in South America, after Buenos Aires and Santiago. Though, and this is interesting, I have been warned several times by people who live in Paraguay that I should avoid Buenos Aires because of the crime. It is also considered to be one of the cheapest capital cities in the world to live in. Asunción has many museums, a riverside beach, and a soccer stadium that seats a bit more than 46,000 people.

The town is known for its pottery, as well as its historic cobblestone roads and colonial architecture. Check out the pics in the photo album. Arequá is located about 28 kilometers (17 miles) east of Asunción next to Ypacaraí Lake.

The name, Itauguá, came from the local indigenous language Guaraní. Itauguá Being a bedroom community of Asunción one would expect it to be primarily urban as are the other similar towns around Asunción, but no, Itauguá is urban, productive rural, and natural. And I must say it is in a beautiful area.
