Please remember that this project is being done entirely on a shoestring budget; we do not have any government funding or sponsorships. We created this map to help preserve Asunción’s cultural heritage, and it took us a lot of time. The research was done by Rosa Grimaldi, an art historian, and the illustrations, drawn line by line, were done by Cynthia Candia, an illustrator. Therefore, we ask that you do not share the map with anyone. Keep it for yourself to explore the city and as a souvenir, knowing that you are supporting routes 2, 3, and 4.

Thank you very much!
