Laguna Blanca, Natural lake in San Pedro Department, Paraguay.
The body of water extends across 147 hectares with transparent conditions over calcareous sand substrate and reaches depths of 7 meters at an elevation of 150 meters. Its waters display clear visibility due to its substrate and receive continuous input from natural springs that maintain constant water levels throughout the year.
Development of rural tourism began in 1997 when the Duarte family established the Laguna Blanca Ranch for ecological activities. Over the decades, the area evolved from a local agricultural space into a recognized destination that combines conservation with recreational opportunities, attracting visitors from different regions annually.
Local communities combine farming and livestock operations with sustainable tourism initiatives that protect natural resources and create employment for families who have lived in the region for generations. The body of water serves as an educational center for environmental programs and provides opportunities for observing native species in their natural habitat.
Visitors can enjoy underwater swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, beach volleyball, camping, fishing, and photographic safaris throughout the year. The property provides access to facilities for different activities and is located in a rural area reachable by car from nearby towns, with limited public transportation options available.
Spring-fed water requires no treatment for drinking, as it lacks thermal stratification and functions as a recharge zone for the Guarani Aquifer. The hydrogeological connection allows direct exchange with one of South America's largest underground water reserves, contributing to regional water supply while maintaining exceptional clarity for underwater observation.
