Caazapá, Administrative district in southern Paraguay.

The district encompasses mountainous terrain at 153 meters elevation, featuring extensions of the Brazilian Highlands and the Ybytyruzú mountain range.

Franciscan monk Luis de Bolaños established the district on January 25, 1607, creating a settlement that became central to regional development.

The district name derives from Guarani words Ka'aguy jehasapa, with five distinct neighborhoods preserving colonial and indigenous heritage through architecture.

The district contains a regional hospital, agricultural college, and maintains direct highway connections to the capital city of Asunción.

The Ykua Bolaños public park features a water source that, according to local narratives, emerged from the earth through divine intervention.
