Cerro Lambaré
A small hill on the Paraguay River south of the city. The monument at the summit offers views over Asunción and the river.
Cerro Lambaré lies on the southern outskirts of Asunción, in the town of Lambaré. It rises about 130 meters and is said to be named after the Guaraní chief Lambaré. A giant monument on the summit honors the Guaraní people and historical figures, including the López father and son. The lookout takes in the Paraguay River, Asunción's city skyline and the Chaco plains across the water. It is best at sunset. You can drive or take a taxi to the top, about 20 minutes from downtown, or cycle the southern stretch of the riverside boulevard. Take care for your safety, and avoid lingering after dark.
