Loma San Jerónimo
A colorful neighborhood on a small hill west of the old town, where stairways and houses are painted in rainbow hues. It offers views over the Paraguay River.
Loma San Jerónimo is one of Asunción's oldest residential areas, on a small hill in the northwest corner of the old town. Starting in 2008, local residents and the municipal government worked together to turn it into a community tourism district. Houses, steps and walls are covered in colorful patterns. Small alleys hold craft shops, family-run restaurants and viewpoints overlooking the Paraguay River and the bay. Community tours in Spanish are available, and there are occasional music and food events on weekends. It is best visited in daylight with a companion, and keep your belongings secure. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Palacio de los López.
