Villa del Rosario

Puerto Rosario is Villa del Rosario's balcony over the Paraguay River: a fishing village with its Paseo de los Pescadores (Fishermen's Promenade), the Héroes del Chaco plaza and the Cnel. Román Escurra Cultural Center at the water's edge, where you can watch launches and barges heading north. A few kilometers inland, Villa del Rosario has its church, a diocesan museum and the Casa de la Cultura. It's a simple, authentic destination for eating river fish, watching the sun set over the Chaco and, if your timing's right, joining in the June festivities.
