Asunción (with the suburbs approx. 1,5 Mio. Habitants ) was founded in 1537 by Juan de Salazar. Because of its central position , it became the main point of the Jesuits, who constructed their mission here in the 19th Century. Asunción is nowadays a "Backwater", situated on the shores of the Río Paraguay. But it is hospitable and has well looked after parks . In the centre it is very busy . The town also offers some interesting architectural buildings from the colonial times of the previous century.

Historical sights on the shore of the Rio Parana: Several sights are remains of the colonial period . Attractive there is the Jesuit church of Trinidad und Jesús, the 1640 founded Capiata and the museum of the Indians (Museo de las Indigenas) of San Lorenzo.
