Capitán Miranda

On Route PY06, on the way to Trinidad, Capitán Miranda is home to descendants of Ukrainian, Polish, German, Russian, Italian, Belgian, Finnish, Japanese and South American settlers. It is a green farming district and the site of the airport that serves Encarnación. Its big event is the Plow Disc Food Festival each February: the immigrant communities cook dishes from their home countries, alongside Paraguayan favorites, on recycled plow discs, with music and dancing. A good stop between the city and the missions.
