What to expect

What happens at Hiking Club?

The 2ndLife Hiking Club helps people based in Asuncion get outdoors without having to organize every detail. Saturday routes range from accessible city-area walks to planned day trips to hills, waterfalls, and nature destinations across Paraguay.

Receive the route grade, weather guidance, packing list, meeting point, and transport plan in advance.

Meet early in Asuncion for a headcount and safety briefing before travelling or walking to the trail.

Hike as a managed group with rest stops, route checks, and an optional meal after the walk.

A weekly activity built around Asuncion

Routes rotate from Cerro Lambare and Parque Guasu to day trips inspired by Cerro Tres Kandu and Salto Suizo.

Routes under consideration

Potential walks from Asuncion by public transport

These known hills and reserves could support 2-6 hour club walks. We would meet in central Asuncion and travel together, using a local taxi or arranged last-mile connection where a bus does not reach the trailhead.

Protected geological formations found in very few places worldwide

Cerro Koi and Cerro Chorori, Aregua

3-4 hours walking Easy to moderate
View route reference

Proposed walkA combined outing from Aregua through the protected Cerro Koi and Cerro Chorori landscape, using the reserve paths and connecting local lanes to create a proper half-day walk.

Getting thereMeet in central Asuncion and take a public bus toward Aregua. Continue on foot or use a short local connection from central Aregua to the reserve entrance.

Check before schedulingThe marked Cerro Koi reserve loop is short on its own, so the 2ndLife route would combine both hills and the approach. Confirm opening hours and group access before departure.

One of the best-known viewpoints over Asuncion and the Paraguay River

Cerro Lambare ascent and city panorama loop

2-3 hours walking Easy to moderate
View route reference

Proposed walkWalk from the lower approaches of Cerro Lambare to the summit monument, then extend the descent through the surrounding neighbourhood to make a varied urban hill loop.

Getting thereMeet in central Asuncion and take a city bus toward Lambare, leaving the bus near the lower approach and completing the route on foot.

Check before schedulingThis is an urban hill walk rather than a wilderness trail. The leader must check the chosen foot access, traffic conditions, heat, and security shortly before the event.

A well-established guided forest and adventure circuit

Eco Reserva Mbatovi forest circuit, Paraguari

2-3 hours walking Moderate and adventurous
View route reference

Proposed walkA reserved, guided circuit through Atlantic Forest paths with hanging bridges and adventure elements in the hills above Paraguari.

Getting thereTravel by regional bus from Asuncion to Paraguari, then share a local taxi or pre-arranged transfer for the final approximately 10 km to the reserve.

Check before schedulingAdvance reservation and reserve guides are required. Confirm which activities are operating, fitness restrictions, price, and return transport before advertising the outing.

Tobati's nationally known sandstone formations and climbing area

Cerro Arco extended loop, Tobati

2-3 hours walking Moderate
View route reference

Proposed walkExtend the familiar walk to Cerro Arco's sandstone arch into the surrounding Compania Rosada hills for rocky scenery and a longer loop.

Getting thereTake a regional bus from Asuncion to Tobati, then arrange a local taxi or community transfer to the Cerro Arco approach in Compania Rosada.

Check before schedulingThe direct arch walk is much shorter than two hours; this proposal depends on a verified extended route. Use a local guide and confirm land access, trail condition, and the return connection.
