I have created an interactive map of barrios in Asuncion.

It is up to you where you want to stay and find your rent or buy a property. Generally speaking there are 2 main big zones:

Green zones – wealthy areas where many expats are located. Some of them are residential areas, others are business ones.

  • Recoleta: It is known for its historic charm and is home to the Recoleta Cemetery. The barrio has a mix of residential and commercial areas.

  • San Cristóbal: Home to the famous Ñu Guasu Park, offering recreational activities.

  • Villa Morra: A trendy and upscale area with shopping malls, restaurants, and nightlife.

Blue zones – “center” of the city. Has different vibes compared to green zones. In my perspective the center are has more charm.

  • La Encarnación: A historic neighborhood known for its colonial architecture.
