Ciudad del Este, Paraguay

Ciudad del Este Paraguay

Ciudad del Este is a city in the east of Paraguay and the capital of the Alto Paraná department. Known as the Garden City for its urban vegetation, its rapid growth has reduced many of its green areas. It is primarily a shopping destination. Although shopping tourism is what most defines Ciudad del Este, the surrounding area has numerous attractions: - The Itaipú Dam, one of the world’s largest hydroelectric plants. - The Monday Falls, a waterfall on the river of the same name. - The Moisés Bertoni Scientific Monument, a protected area that preserves the house where the scientist carried out his research and publications. - About 20 km to the east, on the border between Argentina and Brazil, are the majestic Iguazú Falls. The Lake of the Republic, located in the city centre, is a recreational area surrounded by vegetation. The lake uses the waters of the Amambay stream, and the area is popular for sports, hiking and other outdoor activities.
