Audio Guide of Ramón Elías Mythological Museum

The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is located in the Recoleta neighborhood of Asunción, Paraguay, and is accessible by public transport or taxi; I recommend using Google Maps for precise directions. For more details, visit the official Tourism Paraguay website.

Admission is free for all visitors, making it ideal for families and travelers on a budget. There are occasionally temporary exhibitions with small fees of around 10,000 guaraníes, so check the website before you go.

A typical visit lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on your interest in Guaraní mythology and the guided explanations. If you are a history enthusiast, allow at least 90 minutes to appreciate all the pieces without rushing.

Founded by Ramón Elías, the museum preserves and displays artifacts and stories from Guaraní and Paraguayan mythology, highlighting their role in the country’s cultural identity. It is a treasure for understanding Indigenous legends and their influence on present-day folklore. More information is available on the Paraguay museums portal.

The best time is during the dry season from May to September to avoid the rain; choose weekday mornings for fewer crowds and cooler weather. Avoid holiday weekends if you are looking for a quieter experience.
