Asunción

Asunción is Paraguay’s capital on the Río Paraguay, with a colonial centre and an unhurried pace. The queer scene is small, local and fairly discreet.

The scene

Almost everything is in the Centro: the bar La Abadía on Calle Piribebuy, the community centre SOMOSGAY on Independencia Nacional and the saunas Rebellion, Menstetic and Sauna 945 are only a few blocks apart.

When to go

  • June: Marcha del Orgullo, on 27 June 2026 from the Escalinata de Antequera to the Plaza de la Democracia, with a festival
  • Weekday evenings: according to GayOut, Sauna Rebellion is busiest
