The inaugural trip of Asunción's first electric tram took place on 7 July 1913. Previously, since 3 May 1872, a steam tram line operated between the Plaza Uruguaya railway station to the port. The tram network reached its peak in the 1930s with seven lines in the central area and suburban lines to Port Saxony and San Lorenzo. The Paraguayan capital's trams were abolished in 1997.

The Vicente Puchol ship was built in the shipyards of the Unión Naval de Levante, in Valencia, launched on 27 April 1968 and delivered to the Transmediterránea Company on 8 January 1969. It was a mixed cargo and passenger ship, with a capacity for 400 people and 60 cars. She set sail from Valencia, on her maiden voyage to Ibiza, on 11 January 1969 and continued sailing on bound for Alicante. She later covered the lines between Ibiza, Barcelona, Valencia and Alicante, and later the lines from Malaga and from Almería to Melilla. In 1980, the Vicente Puchol was de facto withdrawn from the active fleet of the Transmediterránea Company, being used exclusively in occasional services. After some unsuccessful sales attempts, on 14 January 1986 it left Ceuta bound for Palma de Mallorca, where it was dismantled at the Levante dock and in December 1986 it was sold to the Greek shipowner Attika Shipping Co., who used it for cruises in the Aegean Sea under the name Arcadia. In 1988 she passed into the hands of the Italian operator Star Lauro who renamed her Angelina Lauro and used her for cruises between Venice and the Aegean. In 1992, recovered by Attika, she was chartered by Central de Cruceros for cruises to Seville, on the occasion of EXPO92, with departures from Barcelona and Valencia. In March 2000 she was chartered by Great Lakes Cruises Inc. to cruise the Great Lakes of Canada and the United States during the summer season of 2001. In 2002, after the suspension of payments by Great Lakes Cruises, on 14 July, the Arcadia was seized and moved to Montreal to be sold at auction. On 6 December of the same year, she was auctioned and reacquired by Attika Shipping through its instrumental subsidiary Anaconda Maritime Inc., which renamed the vessel Caribic Star for Caribbean cruises. Later, under the name Coco Explorer 2, it passed into Taiwanese and Filipino hands, to date.

The
Cunard Princess cruise ship, whose hull was built by Burmeister & Wain
in Copenhagen, Denmark, and launched on December 12, 1974 under the name Cunard
Conquest. The ship was delivered to Cunard on October 30, 1975, and was
transferred to La Spezia, Italy, where it was outfitted by Industrie
Navali Meccaniche Affini. Work ended in March 1977 and the ship, registered
in Southampton (United Kingdom) already under the name Cunard Princess,
made its maiden voyage from New York to Bermuda in April 1977, and she cruised
the Caribbean. In 1980 she had been registered in Nassau, Bahamas, and in the
summer of 1981 she was posted to cruises in Alaska. During the Gulf War, the Cunard Princess
was leased to the United States Armed Forces Recreation Center as a
recreational facility for troops involved in the conflict; arrived in Bahrain on December 24, 1990.
After her service in the Persian
Gulf, she docked at Valletta, Malta, on September 23, 1991 and re-entered
normal service with Cunard on October 19, 1991. In 1995 it was chartered to StarLauro Cruises, which
needed a replacement for its MS Achille Lauro that had sunk in a fire in
1994; StarLauro acquired the ship, which she changed his name to Rhapsody
and was registered in Panama (on October 1, 1995 StarLauro was renamed
Mediterranean Shipping Cruises and later adopted the name MSC Cruises). After
passing her down to other companies and changing her name several times, it was
sold to Turkey for her demolition, which took place in Aliağa on July 11, 2022.

Propiedad de la empresa estadounidense
Intercontinental Hotels Corporation, subsidiaria de la Pan American World
Airways, el Hotel del Lago se inauguró el 14 de agosto de 1953. Fue proyectado
por la firma Hollabird & Root & Burgee y construido por las empresas
D.O.F. Compañía Anónima de Construcciones y Tailor Construction Company. El nuevo hotel, edificado en terrenos adquiridos a la Compañía Moderna,
propiedad de los hermanos Belloso, abrió sus puertas con 129 habitaciones
listas, de las 150 previstas, todas ellas con aire acondicionado.
Tan solo tres años después fue necesario ampliar el número de habitaciones,
salones y restaurantes.
En 1972, CONAHOTU, empresa de turismo del Gobierno Nacional de Venezuela, adquirió la
mayoría de las acciones y asumió el control del hotel. En 1980 se inauguró,
luego de 5 años de trabajos, una nueva ampliación, proyectada por el arquitecto
Américo Faillace. En esta ocasión se puso en
servicio una torre de 14 pisos, con 100 habitaciones, nuevos salones y piscina,
y se remodeló totalmente la parte original del hotel.
