Altos

Altos is a district in Paraguay's Cordillera Department situated at an elevation of around 200 meters. The area is organized into several smaller settlements that together form an agricultural region.

The district was founded in 1538 and grew during the 17th and 18th centuries through population movements. These settlements formed as people sought shelter from conflicts in the region.

Spanish and Guarani are both spoken in daily conversations among residents, reflecting the region's linguistic identity. This bilingual culture shapes how people interact and gather in their communities.

The district has organized postal services across its communities with assigned postal codes. A local telephone area code serves all settlements in the region for communication purposes.

The district comprises four separate settlements, each with its own identity and role in the local economy. Every community contributes differently to the region's agricultural output.
