The reason for not going in the water is that it has rather a reputation for being polluted. Over on the other side of the lake in the smart resort town of San Bernardino properties may be on the lakeside, but they all have swimming pools.

But it is still very nice to look at, and enjoyable under the warm blue Paraguayan sky

thank you for this nicely written article, which has lifted my spirit today(a gloomy Sunday in East Midlands). After reading this, I would definitely visit Aregua if I visit Paraguay.

I wonder why it is not advised to swim in the waters of Lake Ypacarai, curious.

Simon I wish you all the best,
