Villa Florida

The Tebicuary River almost wraps around Villa Florida, the first stop in the south on Route PY01. In summer its white-sand beaches and calm waters welcome families who come for the day to swim, fish or paddle. From the 450-meter bridge you can watch the river open out between sandbanks, and a 31-meter statue of Christ towers over the landscape. The specialty is fish: surubí (river catfish) breaded, grilled or in soup, at the town's eateries.
