This city of 259,705 people is hardly the idyllic Latin American paradise many dream of. The international airport and football museum may seem appealing, but bureaucracy is a persistent headache - Luque was once the temporary capital during the Paraguayan War. And while the local guitar and jewelry crafts are interesting, the reality is this urban area is an unremarkable suburb of the capital Asunción. For those seeking an authentic Paraguayan experience, Luque falls short.
