Asuncion Airport Transfer Guide (2026) - All Options & Tips
Airport transfers in Asuncion: taxi, bus, train, and shuttle options from the airport to the city center, with costs and journey times in Paraguay.
Helpful Tips
Buy a Tarjeta Multicolor at any main bus terminal to pay the lower local fare on city buses.
Use the Ñanduti app to hail yellow taxis without needing to negotiate the fare.
Airport buses marked 'Aeropuerto' depart from the downtown Terminal de Ómnibus every 30 minutes and cost roughly half a taxi.
Rush-hour remises (radio taxis) can be booked by 137 or 520-137 from any hotel to avoid street-hailing.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unofficial 'airport taxis' inside the terminal will quote inflated flat fares to the city center and may claim the meter is broken or that fixed pricing is mandatory. Walk past them to the official taxi rank outside the arrivals hall and insist on the meter, or pre-book through the airport's authorized kiosk.
Baggage porters wearing unofficial-looking vests grab bags from the carousel and then demand an excessive fee for the short walk to the curb. Politely but firmly decline assistance unless you see an official airport badge, and keep your luggage cart within reach.
Currency-exchange booths just past customs sometimes advertise "no commission" but apply a deliberately poor rate without clearly displaying the mid-market figure. Compare the offered rate with a reliable currency app and, if it's unfavorable, wait to exchange in the city or use an ATM inside the terminal.
