Asuncion: Colonial sightseeing

11/18/07 21:26

If you are fond of exotic destinations, but without losing the amenities and comfort of modernity, you should try Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. Located right in the heartland of South America, this city, founded in 1537, is an ideal choice for historical sightseeing. From the colonial houses to the belle epoque buildings. The magnificent "Palacio de los López" (headquarters of the Presidence of the Republic) and the "Vault of the Heroes", which is a little version of the Parisian "Les Invalides", are remarkable spots.
