Short description of Cerro Corá National Park

Cerro Corá National Park (Parque Nacional Cerro Corá) lies in the far northeast near the Brazilian border and is the most historically loaded place in Paraguay, since it is where Marshal López was killed in 1870 and the War of the Triple Alliance ended, a conflict that had already destroyed most of the adult male population. The site is marked with monuments and visited on the national holiday. The park itself is cerrado savannah broken by isolated sandstone hills, with caves holding pre-Columbian rock engravings and a spring-fed stream. The park is remote and reached on a long drive from anywhere.
