Ypacarai Lake

The Ypacarai Lake is located in approximately 50 kilometers away from Asunción, the capital. It is world famous thanks to the guarania "Memories of Ypacarai". Surrounding the lake are three cities: Aregua, Ypacarai and San Bernardino. This lake has a surface around 90 km² and its dimensions are 24 kilometers from North to South and 6 kilometers from East to West. Its average depth is 3 meters.

This is the favorite place to go on vacations in Paraguay for most of the people, especially in the summer, when you can see this lake completely full of people coming from the whole country. The temperature during the summer could be between 25 and 42 degrees Celsius.

The view is just spectacular, as it is surrounded by hills with thick vegetation and beautiful cities.

This lake drains into the Salado River, which in turn reaches the Paraguay River. Also, several of the following streams flow into this lake; Yaguá Resau, Yuquyry bridge, and Pirayú Star.
