LOMA SAN JERÓNIMO

Behind the port, on one of Asunción's seven hills, this is the capital's oldest district. The lanes of the loma (hill) underwent quite a metamorphosis in 2012. Houses and small staircases were repainted in bright colors, bohemian cafés were set up... but the fever didn't last very long, and "SanGer" was gradually abandoned by visitors. Nonetheless, the area retains a pleasant village feel and offers beautiful views of the bay and historic center.
