Cerro Cora National Park, National park in Amambay Department, Paraguay
Cerro Cora National Park is a large protected area in northeastern Paraguay with varied terrain including hills, rivers, and dense forest. The park features several prominent elevations and is crossed by the Aquidabán Nigüí River.
The park was the site of the final battle of the War of the Triple Alliance in 1870, where Marshal Francisco Solano López fought. This event profoundly shaped the region's past.
The park displays ancient rock paintings that show indigenous people lived here for thousands of years. These remains tell the story of early inhabitants and their connection to this land.
The park lies south of Pedro Juan Caballero and is best reached by private vehicle, as public transportation is limited. Visitors find guided tours and basic facilities on site.
The park preserves a blend of natural forests, wetlands, and archaeological sites, where ancient monuments and cave artifacts coexist. This combination makes it a rare example of nature and human history intertwined.
