Asunción is the capital and largest city of Paraguay, home to approximately 550,000 city residents and 2.5 million in the greater area. It operates on Paraguay Time (PYT, UTC-4) in winter and PYST (UTC-3) in summer, following the Southern Hemisphere DST schedule. Asunción is one of the oldest cities in South America, founded in 1537 by Spanish conquistadors — making it older than Buenos Aires and earning it the nickname 'Mother of Cities.' Paraguay is one of only two landlocked countries in South America (Bolivia is the other) yet the Paraguay River, running through the capital, connects it to the Atlantic Ocean via the Paraná and Río de la Plata system. Paraguay produces about 100% of its electricity from the Itaipu Hydroelectric Dam (shared with Brazil) — one of the world's largest, producing more annual energy than any other hydroelectric dam in the world. Paraguayan culture is defined by its bilingualism — Spanish and Guaraní are both official languages, with Guaraní being an indigenous language spoken by nearly 90% of the population.
