The city
What to expect from Areguá.
Areguá, capital of the Central department, lies on the west bank of Lago Ypacaraí, about 28 km from Assunção. Founded in 1538, it was a summer retreat for capital families and preserves manor houses with wide verandas along the Avenida del Lago. It is known for its ceramics, sold at stalls along the streets, for the church atop the hill and for the sandstone formations of Cerro Koi.
