Some popular activities include visiting AsunciÌ n's botanical gardens, which feature more than 100 species of tropical plants, the archaeological museum or enjoying a scenic cruise on the Paraguay River. Paraguay, formerly called The Giant Province of the Indies', was born as a result of the encounter of the Spanish conquerors with the native GuaranÌ indigenous groups. The mixture of these two distinct cultures was a process that gave this area unique characteristics that distinguish it from all its neighbours in South America. The living manifestation of this 'union' of civilizations is expressed most notably in the use of two languages, Spanish and GuaranÌ .
