Mbuyapey

Mbuyapey was founded in 1770 and is about 182 km from Asunción. Its 1,092 km² of territory combine rolling hills and grassland valleys suited to cattle raising, with the Tebicuary and Tebicuarymí rivers, nine named streams (among them Piray, Corrientes and Cristal) and two wetlands. Its tourist appeal is the white-sand beaches on the Tebicuary and the historic architecture that preserves popular traditions. The patron saint festival, in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows, is on 15 September.
