Currency Exchange Guide for Asunción
BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Avoid exchanging substantial sums at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU), where spreads exceed 10%. In Asunción, regulated foreign exchange houses supervised by the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP), such as Cambios Chaco and Maxi Cambios along Calle Palma (Microcentro) and inside modern shopping malls in Villa Morra (Shopping del Sol and Paseo La Galería), provide tight spreads between 1.0% and 1.8% for US dollars, Brazilian reais, and euros.
Asunción is Paraguay’s capital and financial powerhouse. Foreign currency exchange is handled through an extensive, well-regulated network of licensed exchange houses (casas de cambio) that provide reliable electronic rate screens and cash verification.
