Ypacaraí

Ypacaraí grew up along the railway on the lake's southern shore, and it lives up to its name: the Teodoro S. Mongelós Culture House holds a mausoleum dedicated to Mongelós and to Demetrio Ortiz, composer of 'Recuerdos de Ypacaraí', and a Monument to Music recalls the trophy of its famous festival. Every year, in September or October, the Lake Festival brings together dance, theater, poetry, crafts, jazz and rock, with delegations from neighboring countries. It's the natural stop on the way to San Bernardino.
