Curuguaty, Administrative district in Canindeyú, Paraguay
Curuguaty is an administrative district in eastern Paraguay located at around 178 meters elevation. The region spans a considerable area and is home to tens of thousands of residents.
The district was established in the early 18th century and later became significant in national affairs. Between 1869 and 1870, it served as Paraguay's seat of government.
The name comes from a local plant that grows naturally in the region and remains part of local heritage. People here maintain a connection to this natural resource through their traditions.
The district is connected to other areas by main highways and has an international airport nearby. These connections make travel to and from the area easier.
A South American political leader found refuge here during the early 19th century, spending decades away from his homeland. This historical episode connects the region to broader continental history.
