Ypacaraí, District capital in Central Department, Paraguay

Ypacaraí spans 111 square kilometers at an elevation of 70 meters, featuring residential areas along the shores of Lake Ypacaraí.

The district emerged from its early name of Guazú Virá to its official establishment in 1887, growing after the construction of a railway station.

Local artisans maintain a strong tradition of guitar manufacturing, contributing to Paraguay's musical heritage through instrument craftsmanship and production.

The district connects to major cities through highways linking Asunción and Caacupé, with regular bus services operating throughout the region.

The area contains multiple streams flowing into Lake Ypacaraí, including Pirayú and Estrella, which eventually connect to the Paraguay River system.
