Lago Ypacaraí Shore
Nature
Paraguay's best-known lake, celebrated in the famous song 'Recuerdos de Ypacaraí', with San Bernardino on its eastern shore as the country's favourite summer escape from Asunción. Walk the lakefront, watch the sunset over the water, and sample the town's German-influenced cafés and bakeries. Swimming depends on water quality — ask locally.
