Costanera de Asunción
A riverside promenade and park along the Paraguay River and Asunción Bay. It is ideal for running, cycling, watching the sunset and gazing at the Palacio de los López.
The Costanera de Asunción runs along the Paraguay River and Asunción Bay. Built in sections after 2012, its northern stretch runs east behind the Palacio de los López and loops around the bay, with walking paths, bike lanes, sports fields and lookout points. The southern section, Costanera Sur, continues toward Cerro Lambaré. In the evenings, locals come to walk, jog and drink tereré (iced yerba mate), and at sunset the river and the Chaco plains across the water make for sweeping views. Some stretches are quiet at night, so take care. During summer storms, areas around the bay can flood.
