San Pedro is a region located in the east of Paraguay. It is known for its lush green forests and rolling hills. This rural region offers visitors a chance to explore nature and quaint villages, while visiting the nearby cities of Ciudad del Este and Encarnacion.

For those looking to experience local culture, San Pedro has plenty to offer. In Asuncion de la Sierra visitors can wander through cobblestone streets lined with colonial-style homes, or visit the stunning Church of Santa Maria de los Remedios which dates back to 1748. The nearby ruins of Jesus de Tavarangue are another historical site worth seeing.

As it comes alive with outdoor activities like rafting, hiking and bird watching during summer months, San Pedro also offers two great natural attractions - the Lake Ypacarai and the Salto Monday waterfall as well as many others throughout the area. Finally, don't forget about Laguna Blanca National Park where you can marvel at incredible scenery including waterfalls and lagoons.

An interesting historical fact about San Pedro is that its capital city, San Estanislao was founded by a group of Polish soldiers who were exiled after their failed uprising against Russia in 1830s - making it one of the last exiled settlements in South America!
