Asunción Travel Safety Guide — Paraguay

Safety Score: 6.5/10 · Value: 9.5/10 · Beauty: 6.1/10

Asunción is one of South America's least-visited capitals and one of its most authentic — a city of 2.5 million that moves at a pace entirely its own, where colonial architecture survives in unexpected corners, terere (cold mate with herbs) is consumed constantly, and the Guaraní language is co-official with Spanish and spoken by most of the population. Paraguay as a country is remarkable: the Chaco wilderness (one of South America's last frontiers), the Jesuit missions of Trinidad and Jesús (UNESCO), and the Pantanal wetland are all accessible from the capital.
