Amambay Department, Administrative department in northeastern Paraguay.
The department spans 12,933 square kilometers of varied terrain, from tropical forests to grasslands, with Pedro Juan Caballero serving as its capital city.
Ancient petroglyphs discovered in the hills of Akua and Lorito Picada reveal human settlements dating back to 5000 BC in this northeastern region.
The department preserves indigenous traditions while incorporating Brazilian and Paraguayan influences due to its position at the intersection of these cultures.
The region maintains strong commercial relations with Brazil through Pedro Juan Caballero, which functions as a primary economic center for trade and agriculture.
The Cerro Corá National Park contains the final battlefield of the Paraguayan War within its 12,000 hectares of protected natural territory.
