Caacupé, Religious pilgrimage town in Cordillera Department, Paraguay
Located in a valley of the Altos Mountains, Caacupé holds the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Miracles at its central plaza.
Carlos Murphy, a Spanish crown grenadier, established the town in 1770, although earlier settlements date back to the seventeenth century.
The National Agronomic Institute operates an experimental farm focusing on research for local crop production, including oranges, tobacco, and sugarcane.
The town connects to Asunción through paved highways and sits 57 kilometers east of the capital at an elevation of 179 meters.
Every December 8th, one million pilgrims gather to honor the Virgin of Caacupé, a wooden statue that measures 50 centimeters in height.
