Ypacaraí, District capital in Central Department, Paraguay
Ypacaraí is a district in the Central region of Paraguay situated along the shores of Lake Ypacaraí. The area is characterized by residential neighborhoods set in low-lying terrain with water bodies.
The district originated from its earlier name Guazú Virá and was officially established in 1887. Growth accelerated after a railway station was constructed in the area.
Local craftspeople have maintained guitar-making traditions for generations, and this skill remains central to the area's cultural identity. Visitors can see how this craft continues to shape daily life and local pride.
The area connects to major cities through highways linking Asunción and Caacupé, with regular bus services available. Visitors can easily reach and explore the region using public transportation.
Multiple streams flow through the area into Lake Ypacaraí and eventually connect with the Paraguay River system. These waterways shape the natural landscape and the region's water systems.
