Kaarendy

Kaarendy lies in the forested country west of the upper Paraná, near the Ñacunday River. The Ñacunday and the Yacu'i Guasu flow towards the Paraná through the Atlantic Forest, where jaguars and tapirs share the woods with toucans and parrots. The Ñacunday descends over a broad waterfall before reaching the great river; other cascades interrupt the streams that drain this part of the plateau.

The later city of Ciudad del Este lies nearby.
