Guairá Department, Administrative division in southeastern Paraguay

Guairá is an administrative region in southeastern Paraguay that lies between neighboring departments and centers on agricultural activity. The territory is characterized by scattered towns and serves as a hub for regional commerce and farming operations.

The region was established as an administrative unit during Paraguay's post-independence reorganization in the early 19th century. This structure emerged from the need to organize the territory and create multiple districts for governance.

The region was originally home to Guaraní communities, whose influence still appears in local names and the way people interact with the land. You can sense this heritage in daily life and the connection people maintain with their surroundings.

A network of regional roads connects the various districts and facilitates movement and transport of goods. Exploring the region is easiest with your own vehicle, as public transportation options may be limited in some areas.

The region is known for growing yerba mate, a beverage deeply rooted in local culture and consumed daily by residents. This leafy drink shapes the region's identity in subtle but meaningful ways.
