Ciudad del Este, Administrative centre in eastern Paraguay
Ciudad del Este extends along the Paraná River, forming the eastern edge of Paraguay at the intersection of three national borders with Brazil and Argentina.
The city, established in 1957 as Puerto Flor de Lis, underwent rapid development after the construction of the Friendship Bridge connecting Paraguay to Brazil.
The population includes substantial communities from Middle Eastern, Asian, and South American origins, resulting in multilingual street markets and diverse festivals.
Visitors can access the city through the Guaraní International Airport or cross the Friendship Bridge from Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, with regular bus services available.
The Itaipu Dam, located near Ciudad del Este, generates electricity for both Paraguay and Brazil through one of the largest hydroelectric facilities worldwide.
