Canindeyú, Administrative department in northeastern Paraguay
The department of Canindeyú spans across 14,677 square kilometers in the eastern region of Paraguay, featuring fertile lands and rolling hills.
The department was established in 1973 through the division of Alto Paraná, San Pedro, and Caaguazú departments, making it a recent administrative creation.
Many residents speak Guarani, reflected in the department's name, which derives from 'Kaninde' for macaw and 'ju' for yellow in the indigenous language.
The capital city, Salto del Guairá, contains numerous shopping centers that attract visitors from neighboring Brazilian regions due to competitive prices.
The department preserves sections of the Atlantic Forest through protected areas like the Mbaracayú Biological Refuge and Natural Reserve.
