Caaguazú (pronounced as /es/) is a district and city in the department of the same name in Paraguay.
According to the INE (the local census bureau), the urban area itself has a population of 63,000, while the district has a total of 127,328 inhabitants.
Caaguazú had the greatest concentration of sawmills in Paraguay about fifteen to twenty years ago and up until today is still called the “Wood Capital” of Paraguay, in Spanish (Capital de la Madera). Caaguazú still has more than ten big wood industries producing wood flooring among other things. The many sawmills have mostly moved to the northeastern part of Paraguay, where there are many more logs.
National routes PY02 and PY13 pass through the city. PY02 connects it with the two major urban areas of the country, Asunción 1730NaN0 west, and Ciudad del Este 1350NaN0 east. The closest airport to the district is Guaraní International Airport (AGT). Distance from the airport to Caaguazú is about 120 kilometers.[1]
