Plaza Uruguaya, Asuncion (must see)

Plaza Uruguaya is an interesting city park that provides a pleasant respite from the city's heat. A covered market that offers a great collection of Latin American literature is located within the park, as well as an old railway station, shuttered since the interruption of rail service years ago. In the terminal you can see a remarkable old steam locomotive, the Sapucaí, which is no longer in use. Visit the park to get a better sense of the true Asuncion.
