About San Carlos del Apa

San Carlos del Apa is a district in the department of Concepción, located in the far north of Paraguay's Región Oriental. Its name incorporates the Apa River, a waterway that forms part of the northern border between Paraguay and Brazil in this part of the country. Extensive cattle ranching, favored by the region's vast lands, represents the central economic activity of the district. Proximity to the Brazilian border gives it the character of a frontier zone, with the exchanges typical of such territories. The city of Concepción, the departmental capital on the Paraguay River, is the main services hub for the region.
