Misiones Department, Administrative division in southern Paraguay.
The Misiones Department extends across flat terrain intersected by the Tebicuary and Paraná rivers, forming natural boundaries with neighboring regions.
Eight Jesuit reductions established in the 17th century laid the foundation for current towns, leading to the department's creation in 1906.
Local artisans maintain traditional practices through generations, producing handmade textiles and pottery that reflect regional techniques and patterns.
The department connects to major areas through national routes PY01, PY04, and PY20, with regional airports in San Juan Bautista and Ayolas.
Rice fields stretch across the department's agricultural zones, making it a primary production center for this grain in Paraguay.
