VILLA FLORIDA BEACHES

Villa Florida has beautiful beaches, with facilities for playing volleyball, horseback riding, or camping... They fill up quickly in the summer, between December and March, but especially during Holy Week, which here is all about big parties, with lots of reggaetón and lots of alcohol! For more peace and quiet, fishermen can take you for a peaceful stroll on the river (make sure they are not drunk!). Punta Arena is located before the bridge leading to Villa Florida (coming from the north), in the territory of Caapucú. The other beaches are on the other side of the bridge: for Caracol, take the ^2nd left after the bridge (coming from Asunción). The beach is 5 km upriver. Playa Paraíso is located 1.5 km west of the city. Turn right after the bridge, then right again at the first intersection, and finally left when you reach the river. This is the most popular beach and there is usually a charge for access. It has showers and toilets, a bar and a camping area. Horse riding is possible. Continuing southwest, Yvága is a long, quieter beach. Take the ^2nd right after the bridge (Calle Profesor Feliciano Orué), then follow the dirt road to the beach (5 km). Finally, Centú Cué is the furthest beach from Villa Florida, 7 km to the east. It can be reached by a track that leaves on the left as you leave the town (Calle Narciso Corrales). You can stay overnight (cabañas and camping) and fish on site.
