Encarnación: Paraguay's "Pearl of the Orient" and Cultural Capital
Encarnación is the capital of the Department of Ipacara, Paraguay, and the country's third largest city. Located on the banks of the Paraguay River, across the river from Argentina, it is known as the "Pearl of the Orient" of Paraguay. As an important gateway to southeastern Paraguay, it has a warm and humid climate and beautiful subtropical scenery. The city is a blend of colonial architectural style and modern urban vitality, and is an important economic and cultural center of Paraguay.
Encarnación is known as the "Capital of Carnival" and attracts tourists from all over the world for its "Encarnación Carnival" in February each year, with its grand parades and folkloric performances listed as a national cultural heritage. In addition, the city's proximity to Lake Ipacara, with its scenic beauty and surrounding historical sites such as the Jesuit missions, is a unique tourist attraction. Economically, the city continues to grow and is one of the most dynamic regions of Paraguay, thanks to its agriculture (cotton, soybeans) and border trade.
