CAMPO DE BATALLA DE CURUPAYTÝ

On September 22, 1866 the greatest Paraguayan victory against the allies took place in Curupaytý. The battle pitted 5,000 Paraguayans against 20,000 Brazilians and Argentinians. On the site there are still a few trenches and a monument to General José Eduvigis Díaz, who led the Paraguayan operations, but not much more. Curupaytý is located 12 km from Humaitá on private property. Unless you're a history buff, there's not much point in traveling.
