Cmasi · CC BY-SA 4.0Areguá Strawberry Fair
Three months of basket-fresh strawberries, smoothies, cakes and liqueurs on the main avenue of Paraguay’s ceramics town.
What it is
In winter, Areguá turns red. Along Avenida Mariscal Estigarribia and in Plaza de los Héroes, dozens of small growers sell freshly picked strawberries and everything made from them: tarts, smoothies, ice cream, liqueurs, alfajores (filled cookies) and strawberries and cream. Entry is free, and it pairs perfectly with the ceramics workshops, the hilltop church and sunset over Lake Ypacaraí. August is usually the peak of the harvest.
What to see and do
- Fresh strawberries by the basket
- Strawberries and cream, smoothies and liqueurs
- Areguá ceramics and lake views
Tips
Free entry. On weekends traffic crawls: arrive early or go on a weekday. Ask about farms that let you pick your own fruit.
Dates may shift to the nearest weekend.
