Pilar, the capital of Paraguay's Ñeembucú department, is located on the left bank of the Paraguay River in the southwestern part of the country, across the river from Argentina, and is an important riverside gateway between the two countries. Founded in 1779 by Spanish colonists, the city still retains a strong colonial flavor, with the Catholic Church and traditional buildings in the historic center bearing witness to the past. As the economic and cultural center of the department of Neembuco, Pilar is based on agriculture (soybeans, cotton), fishing, and regional trade, and is a key point for inland transportation of goods thanks to the navigation of the Paraguay River. Its blend of Guarani and Spanish cultures and traditional festivals are full of local flavor, while the surrounding wetlands, virgin forests and riparian landscapes make it a popular destination for eco-tourism and recreational fishing, attracting visitors who want to explore the natural and historical charms of Paraguay.
