Bella Vista Norte

Bella Vista Norte sits where Route PY08 runs out: on the banks of the Apa River, facing its Brazilian twin, Bela Vista, linked by an international bridge about 100 m long. The Apa and the Estrella stream have white-sand beaches, and the municipal beach is the summer meeting point, with canoe trips and sport fishing. Some 50 km to the west, almost on the border with Concepción, lies the Ojo de Mar ('eye of the sea'), a limestone lagoon of clear green water in the middle of the forest. It's a quiet border corner that few people know yet.
