Refugio Carapá
A protected sub-tropical mosaic along the Paraná River basin
Refugio Carapá protects a dramatic stretch of mountain slopes and riverine valleys in the Department of Canindeyú. By managing a mosaic of tall forests, swamps, and open camp vegetation, the reserve maintains a crucial ecological link within the wider Itaipu reservoir landscape. The area functions as a research-focused environment dedicated to preserving native flora and threatened species in eastern Paraguay.
