Minga Guazú, Administrative district in Alto Paraná Department, Paraguay
Minga Guazú extends across valleys and streams at 241 meters elevation, with agricultural lands covering approximately 700,000 hectares in the region.
The district was officially established on May 14, 1958, under the leadership of Salesian priest Guido Coronel during the development of eastern Paraguay.
The name combines Quechua word 'minga' meaning cooperative work and Guarani word 'guasu' meaning big, reflecting the community's collaborative nature.
