Caaguazú District, District capital in Caaguazú Department, Paraguay
Caaguazú stretches across 11,474 square kilometers of land in eastern Paraguay, featuring diverse agricultural zones and forested areas within its boundaries.
The region transformed from Guardia del Empalado in 1844 to an independent municipality in 1884, marking a significant shift in its administrative structure.
The name originates from Guaraní language, meaning 'great herb', reflecting the indigenous heritage and connection to the natural environment.
National routes PY02 and PY13 connect the district to major cities, while Guaraní International Airport provides air transportation 120 kilometers away.
The district maintains its position as Paraguay's wood industry center, with numerous sawmills processing timber products throughout the region.
