San Bernardino

Trip Planner :  South America  /  Paraguay  /  Cordillera Department  /  San Bernardino
Outdoors
A town of less than 10,000 people, San Bernardino has the look and feel of a resort town, with attractive, lakeside buildings and a well-maintained commercial center. Tourism in San Bernardino during peak season causes the population to swell, with many residents of Greater Asuncion owning second homes here. Picturesquely positioned on the shores of Lake Ypacarai, the town was founded by immigrants from Germany and Switzerland in 1881. Today, a holiday in San Bernardino reveals tastes, styles, and flavors of these European nations in the town's architecture and cuisine. Plan the details of your San Bernardino holiday and any onward adventuring with our easy-to-use Paraguay tour itinerary planning website .

Where to stay in San Bernardino

©
The main urban area that lines the eastern shore of Lake Ypacarai features a fair set of hotels for visitors to San Bernardino. Either on the main thoroughfare, Av. Guillerno Naumann, or between it and the lake, a number of hotels new and old offer rooms overlooking the lake and the attractive commercial strip. Alternatively, consider staying in one of the many rental apartments in town--often second or holiday homes of those who live in Greater Asuncion to the west.
