🌆 Asuncion
the authentic capital of Paraguay
A capital on a human scale, just an hour from Oasis Dream
Located approximately 50 kilometers from San Bernardino, Asunción is a must-see destination for all travelers staying at the Oasis Dream Hotel & Spa.
In just over an hour's drive, you can go from the peaceful atmosphere of Lake Ypacaraí to the bustle of the Paraguayan capital.
A city steeped in history
Founded in 1537, Asunción is one of the oldest cities in South America. Nicknamed “the mother of cities,” it was the starting point for many city foundations in the region.
Its historic center still preserves superb colonial buildings, such as:
• The Casa de la Independencia, where Paraguay's independence was signed in 1811
• The Panteón Nacional de los Héroes, an emblematic monument surrounded by gardens
• The Metropolitan Cathedral, with its magnificent stained-glass windows
• And of course, the Palacio de López, seat of government, illuminated at night
A capital full of charm and contrasts
Asunción seduces with its unique blend of old and new.
Between the skyscrapers of the Villa Morra district, colorful markets like Mercado 4, and contemporary art galleries, the city offers an experience that is both authentic and lively.
There you will discover a warm people, a mixed gastronomy and a surprisingly relaxed pace of life for a capital.
Growing tourist interest
In recent years, Asunción has attracted more and more visitors, investors and expatriates.
New shopping malls, gourmet restaurants, trendy cafes, and modern cultural spaces rub shoulders with local traditions that are still very much alive.
It is also the main gateway to the country, with its Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, directly connected to San Bernardino by a pleasant road.
