🤑

Asuncion is reasonably affordable, but not super cheap. Prices for food, transportation, and accommodation are generally fair. However, imported goods such as electronics or clothing can be expensive due to taxes and limited options.

Shop at local street markets for fresh produce, try traditional Paraguayan dishes at affordable restaurants, and use public transportation to save money.

Mindful meoweler tips

Paraguay's yellow buses

Buses are the most popular transport in Asuncion. Yellow is the color of the city's buses and they are everywhere. Cat tourists should be aware of overcrowding and pickpocketing.

Drinking tereré like a local cat

Tereré is a traditional refreshing drink made of yerba mate, ice, and cold water. Asunción's cats love to drink it throughout the day. Tourist cats can try it in a park while sitting on a bench or on the grass.

Costanera and Bahia de Asuncion

Montevideo and Asuncion share the honor of being the only two South American capitals without a coastline. In Asuncion, cat visitors can take a walk by the Bahia de Asuncion, a port that has been rehabilitated recently. The costanera is a park where cats can watch boats from the river.
