Presidente Hayes, Administrative division in western Paraguay.
Presidente Hayes is an administrative region in western Paraguay that spans vast plains, rivers, and agricultural lands across the Chaco region. The territory features broad open landscapes with scattered settlements and is marked by waterways that define its geography.
The region took its name in 1878 when United States President Rutherford B. Hayes settled a border dispute between Paraguay and Argentina. This arbitration decision shaped the territorial boundaries of the region.
Local communities mark three significant occasions each year: Chaco Peace Day on June 12, Boquerón Victory Day on September 29, and Laudo Hayes Day on November 12. These celebrations shape how people remember and connect with their regional history.
Route 9 Carlos Antonio López connects this region and provides access to Bolivia and other parts of the country via the Remanso Bridge. Visitors should prepare for dry and hot conditions throughout the area.
The climate here is extreme, swinging between intense heat in summer and cold winter nights. These sharp temperature shifts shape how people live and work throughout the year.
