Discover Ciudad del Este 2026

Jointly operated with Brazil, this hydroelectric power plant is one of the largest in the world and covers a large share of Paraguay's electricity needs, with guided tours offering an impressive view of the massive turbine halls and the monumental dam wall.

At the confluence of the Paraná and Iguazú rivers, the borders of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina meet, and a viewpoint on the riverbank offers a view of all three countries at once, while the famous Iguazú Falls are just a short drive away.

The city centre is considered one of the largest free-trade zones in South America, where traders from Brazil and Argentina sell electronics, perfume and textiles at duty-free prices, giving the city a bustling, busy feel.

Just a few kilometres outside the city, the Monday River plunges over a wide rock ledge, and anyone who has already visited the world-famous Iguazú Falls will find a quieter but no less impressive alternative here.

Guaraní Airport is served from Asunción several times daily with a flight time of around 50 minutes. Alternatively, comfortable long-distance buses cover the route in about five to six hours.
