¿Sabías que en el calor paraguayo hay una 'cabaña alpina' que guarda ecos de batallas épicas y sandías gigantes?
The town and the port of Piquete Cué are open all day, but if you want to cross to the famous rock outcrop, the boats generally operate from **08:00 to 17:00**. For a guided experience at your own pace, bring our audio guide on your phone, available 24/7.
Access to the town, the ecological church, and the port is **free**. However, you should bring cash for the canoe ride to the rock outcrop (approx. 20,000 - 30,000 guaraníes per person) and to support local artisans by buying karanda'y hats.
Set aside at least **half a day (3 to 4 hours)**. This will give you enough time to visit the handicraft market, see Saint Joseph Church, and take the river trip without rushing.
It is known as the cradle of mestizaje and is famous for the legend of the rock outcrop in the middle of the Paraguay River. It is also the epicenter of **karanda'y** basket weaving, an ancestral tradition that defines the town's identity.
I recommend going at **sunset** to see a spectacular sunset over the river in Piquete Cué. Avoid midday in summer because of the intense heat, unless you have good protection.
The town center and the squares are accessible. However, the descent to the port to take the boats can be difficult and may require assistance, as the ground is uneven near the river.
You are strategically located near **Luque** (famous for its jewelry) and just a few minutes from the entrance to Asunción. You can combine your visit with a tour of the Botanical Garden along the access road.
Bring **cash in small bills**, since most boatmen and artisans do not have card terminals. And most importantly: use insect repellent and wear a hat if you are going to be near the water.
