Piribebuy

Piribebuy is a district in the Cordillera region that divides into clearly defined urban and rural zones separated by landscape and land use. The town takes shape around a central church structure that has anchored its layout for generations.

The district was founded in 1636 and later became significant as Paraguay's third capital center during the military conflict of the 1800s. That period left lasting marks on the community's story and identity.

The Santo Cristo de los Milagros church anchors community life and serves as the gathering place for religious celebrations and shared events. People come here to pray together and participate in local festivals that shape the rhythm of the town.

The district sits between two main routes and connects to larger cities through a branch road with regular bus services. Visitors can access it easily and find good land connections for exploring the surrounding area.

Local craftspeople make the Poncho Para'í, a traditional garment with 60 stripes, using techniques passed down through generations. This handmade product represents a living craft still practiced in the community today.
