Ciudad del Este Paraguay

Ciudad del Este is a city in eastern Paraguay and the capital of the Alto Paraná department. Known as the Garden City for its urban vegetation, it has seen its green areas reduced by urban growth. It is mainly a shopping destination.

The Lake of the Republic, located in the city center, is a recreational area surrounded by vegetation. The lake is fed by the Amambay Stream, and its surroundings are used for sports, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
