San Bernardino

About San Bernardino

San Bernardino is Paraguay's premier lakeside resort destination, located on the shores of Lake Ypacaraí roughly fifty kilometers from Asunción. Founded in 1881 by German colonists, the town retains traces of that heritage in parts of its architecture and local cultural identity. Its beaches, restaurants, and entertainment venues make it the quintessential summer destination for the capital's population. Beyond the high season, San Bernardino sustains continuous tourist and residential activity, with a varied gastronomic offer and a nightlife that set it apart from other localities in the department. Lake Ypacaraí, the scenic centrepiece of central Paraguay, is the natural element that defines the entire experience of the place.
