A vehicle will transport you to our first destination, the Cultural Centre of the City Carlos Colombino Manzana de la Rivera.

One highlight is the Casa Viola, which is home to the Museo Memoria de la Ciudad, featuring an array of texts, maps, artifacts, and artworks.
Our exploration continues to the Museo Casa de la Independencia (Independence House Museum). Here, we will wander through the halls of a building that once served as a clandestine meeting place for the key figures of Paraguay's independence.
