Asuncion Travel Guide
Paraguay
Asunción is Paraguay’s capital and a city of 3,510,511 people in the country’s central-eastern region. It is inland rather than on a sea coast, so the city is not a beach destination.
Most international visitors arrive at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU), the airport serving Asunción. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so trips here are better planned around the capital itself rather than nearby seaside resorts.
