Piribebuy, Colonial district in Cordillera Department, Paraguay

Located at an elevation of 95 meters, Piribebuy extends across the central region of Paraguay with clear demarcation into urban and rural zones.

The district, established on March 8, 1636, served as Paraguay's third capital during the Paraguayan War from December 1868 to August 1869.

The Santo Cristo de los Milagros church, constructed in 1744 by Franciscan Gaspar de Medina, stands as a central religious monument in Piribebuy.

Situated between Routes I and II, Piribebuy connects to major cities through the branch route Rogelio R. Benítez, with regular transportation services.

Local artisans maintain the tradition of crafting Poncho Para'í, a distinctive garment featuring 60 stripes made through generational techniques.
