PARAGUAY ~ Asunción ~
... Nice Paraguay postcard nr 2... a tram view from the 70's in the capital Asuncion... one of the oldest cities in South America and the longest continually inhabited area in the Río de la Plata Basin... for this reason it is nicknamed "the Mother of Cities"... the city is filled with historic buildings and cultural landmarks... Dear Diego, I hope you reach your goal of visiting 100 countries by 40🤞... Thanks a lot!【ツ】Asunción was founded in 1537 (the Feast of the Assumption) by Juan de Salazar y Espinoza on the east bank of the Paraguay River, 956 miles upstream from the port of Buenos Aires, Asunción became the capital of Paraguay on 14 May 1811.
