Discover Luque: History, Football and Parque Ñu Guasu

Luque offers several distinct themes to consider when planning a trip: historic sites, football culture and Parque Ñu Guasu as a vast green space. You can prioritize these based on what interests you during your stay: the history of a pedestrian street and a church, themed rooms and digital football experiences, or trails, sports facilities and outdoor recreation areas. When looking for a hotel in Luque, this distinction is a practical starting point for weighing your interests during your stay.

Finding your way on arrival

At Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi, the tourist information centre in Paraguay assists domestic and international travellers arriving in the country. It provides maps and information materials, destination recommendations and in-person advice in several languages. This means the information point caters both to those who want material to read through themselves and to those with questions for which a personal conversation would be helpful. If you would like to compare destinations on arrival, the recommendations and multilingual advice can help you find your bearings. If you plan to seek advice, check the latest opening hours and availability in advance.

Historic sites in Luque

The historic pedestrian street Mcal. López was formerly called Calle Comuneros. Visitors who know the place by its current name will also encounter a former name for the same street. Iglesia Virgen del Rosario offers a different perspective on the past: its origins date back to 1743, when construction of the first chapel began. The distinction between these two historical references is clear: Mcal. López is associated with a former street name, while the church is associated with the start of chapel construction. Thus, the history of a name and the history of a building stand as separate themes.

Football history and digital experiences

The Museo de la CONMEBOL, located in Luque, devotes its themed rooms to football personalities and the achievements of the continent’s national teams and clubs. Statues of Pelé, Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi are on display. The museum also offers virtual reality, 360° projections, VAR simulators, interactive screens and digital activities. Bringing together individual footballers, team and club achievements, and digital formats gives the museum a distinct focus alongside the historic sites. The specific exhibition and individual technology offerings may change.

Parque Ñu Guasu as a green space

Parque Ñu Guasu is a green space of approximately 25 hectares in Luque. Its landscape includes an artificial lake and extensive tree-covered areas. There are paths for walking and running, as well as cycle paths. Sports fields and outdoor fitness equipment add to the opportunities for exercise, while playgrounds and recreation areas offer other ways to enjoy the park. The space therefore combines landscape features with a range of options for exercise and recreation. Unlike the museum and historic sites, the focus here is on a green space with paths, sports facilities and recreation areas. Individual facilities may change.
