Ride to Areguá.

Asunción to Areguá and back — about 30 km each way on a scenic road, ending at a cobblestone lake town famous for its ceramics, its strawberries and its ice cream. The kind of day you send to a friend and say "we're doing this Saturday."

Lago Ypacaraí — costanera 11:45 · Viewpoint · photos

Down to the water. The Areguá waterfront looks out across Lake Ypacaraí with the hills behind it — the money shot of the whole trip. Take your time; this is the one you'll post.

Mercado de Artesanías 12:45 · Ceramics · strawberries

Areguá is the ceramics town — stalls of pottery, planters and hand-painted pieces line the street up to the church. In season (roughly Sept–Nov) it's also strawberry central: fresh berries, jam, licuados and strawberry everything.

5

Heladería & café stop 14:15 · Ice cream · snacks

The reward. Pull up at a heladería for ice cream, a cold drink and a snack before the ride back — strawberry, of course, if they've got it. Regroup, refill water, and rest the legs.

Back in Asunción 15:30 · Finish

Cruise back into the city with a phone full of lake photos and a bag of ceramics you didn't plan to buy. Half-day done — or extend into the evening if you're on the full-day plan.

🎒

Bring

Valid licence, sunscreen, water, a light jacket, cash for the market, and phone storage for the lake shots.

When to go

Weekends are liveliest (full market). Strawberry season runs roughly September–November. Go early to beat the midday heat.

However you get there

Make it a moto day.

This route is great however you get there — by car, bus or tour van. But there's something about riding out to Areguá on two wheels, the lake opening up ahead of you, that turns a day trip into a story. Rent a moto from Andaway and feel the ride instead of just seeing it.
