Asunción is South America's least-visited capital — a quiet, authentic city on the Paraguay River. Colonial architecture, Guaraní culture, and the city's unhurried atmosphere exceed all expectations. Itaipu — the world's second-largest hydroelectric dam — is just four hours away. Asunción is the curious traveller's discovery.
