Caapucú

Caapucú, on the PY01 heading to Misiones, preserves colonial homes with verandas and tile roofs, plus the Casa Stewart, a European-style rarity next to the church, built by a family of British origin and home to Major Wilfrido Stewart, a Chaco War veteran. Thirteen kilometers along the highway, the Casa-Museo-Oratorio Cabañas, a colonial estancia (ranch) house, holds historic objects and relics. To the south, Punta Arena offers white-sand beaches on the Tebicuary River, and much of the district is wetland with a long ranching tradition. It's a good place to stretch your legs on the way to southern Paraguay.
