An important route centre, although not worth a stop, 3 km south of the junction of west-east highway and the major north-south Ruta 8; buses drop passengers at the junction (El Cruce). Ruta 8 runs north to Mbutuy, continuing as Ruta 3 to Yby Yaú, where it meets Ruta 5 (Concepción-Pedro Juan Caballero). At Mbutuy (Km 56, parador, restaurant, petrol station) Ruta 10 branches off northeast to the Brazilian frontier at Salto del Guaíra.
Salto del Guaíra (Phone code: 046) is named after the waterfalls now under the Itaipú lake. There is a 900-ha wildlife reserve, Refugio Biológico Mbaracayú. Salto del Guaíra, a free port, can also be reached by a paved road which runs north from Hernandarias, via Itaquyry to meet Ruta 10 at Cruce Carambey.
