La Candelaria Church
Yellow House
Part art gallery, part antique store and part hostel. This was once part of Mariscal Lopez's Areguá estate. Eccentric and fascinating. Doesn't look like much from outside - don't be put off.
Cerro Coi
Exceptional rock formations from volcanic activity. It is said that the rock type on this hill can only be found in 2 other places in the world (South Africa and Canada), but also north of Dublin (Ireland) at the coast you will find similar rock formations created by volcanic activity. In addition, it has a good view of the town and lake Ypacaraí.
Balneario municipal
Swimming is not recommended, due to the pollution of the lake.
Pastel church
Acosta Ñú Martyrs
Apparently has never dried and features picturesque crocodiles.
Snacks, drinks, lunch, dinner. Close to Cerro Koi.
Little but very friendly hostel and owner, centrally located in Areguá. Large supermarket, artesanal market, train station and lake in walking distance.
Has rooms and camping options available. A little overpriced, considering the "importance" of Areguá and state of the lake.
Has also a restaurant and a pool.
By car
Areguá is accessible from Ruta 2, going east outside of Asunción. When you get to the Colegio Militar Mcal.
The town is pretty compact - best to go by foot. Distances are short. On one end (right, uphill from the centre) there's the church on the hill overlooking the town, on the other end is the beach and the lake.
