Ypoá National Park, Protected wetland area in central Paraguay.
The national park contains extensive shallow lakes called esterales with floating vegetation mats, forested islands, savannahs, and rocky formations across 100,000 hectares.
The park received its Ramsar site designation in June 1995, marking a significant step in protecting Paraguay's largest aquatic environment and its ecological systems.
The eastern shores of Lake Ypoá contain ancient shell middens from Ampullaria and Diplodon mollusks, along with remnants of early human settlements.
Located 150 kilometers from Asunción, the park spans across three departments: Paraguarí, Central, and Ñeembucú, with multiple entry points for visitors.
The wetlands support five threatened plant species and provide critical habitat for strange-tailed tyrants, ochre-breasted pipits, and chestnut seedeaters.
