From mountains to waterfalls, most people coming to Paraguay are here to explore its natural beauty, but this South American country also has many beautiful cities in store. Here are three that you should consider checking out while exploring it.

Asunción

Asunción is the capital city of Paraguay, so it’s definitely the first city you should check out while in this country. It earned itself the nickname “Mother of Cities” because it’s one of the oldest cities in this part of the world and its colonial architecture is a sight to behold.

Ciudad del Este

Ciudad del Este is located in close proximity to the Brazilian border, and it’s the largest city in Paraguay’s Triple Frontier region. It’s best known for serving as the getaway to Iguazú Falls, and if you want to visit this breathtaking waterfall from Paraguay, this city should be your starting point.

San Lorenzo

Located in close proximity to Asunción, San Lorenzo is one of the most popular day trip destinations you can visit from the capital of Paraguay. It’s best known as the university city, and it’s worth checking out for its charming blue cathedral alone.
