CERRO LAMBARÉ

The highest point in the metropolitan area (139 m) lies to the south of Asunción, close to the Bañado Sur slums, so you'll need to be careful if you're going there on your own. Nice view from the mirador, where you can see the importance of vegetation in this town. A monument pays tribute to the cacique Lambaré, leader of the Guarani resistance at the time of the Conquest. The mountain, formerly known as Avamba'e, was a sacred place for the Guaranis, whose wise men gathered there to communicate with Tupã, God creator of the Universe.
