The city of Concepcion was founded in 1773 to protect territories to the south from attacks by indigenous tribes and the neighboring Portuguese. This area saw much action towards the end of the Triple Alliance War. Mariscal Lopez met his demise in Cerro Cora (now a national park) to the east and his wake was held in Concepcion. With its strategic location on the Paraguay River, Concepcion became an important shipping hub during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Yerba mate and wood arrived from Paraguayan provinces to the east as well as the Brazilian province of Matto Grosso. These

Nestled at the base of the Ybytyruzu mountains the town of Colonia Independencia, known as La Tierra del Vino y del Sol (the land of wine and sun) was founded by German immigrants after World War II. Unlike the majority of Paraguay’s German-influenced towns Colonia Independencia is not populated by Mennonites. Rather than religious freedom, the town’s German inhabitants are mostly drawn by a sense of adventure and the chance to stretch their retirement pensions abroad in an already established German community. Though Colonia Independencia also has Paraguayan inhabitants there is a decidedly German feel to the town. Street signs
