The winding Río Paraguay is 400 m wide and is still the main trade route for the products of northern Paraguay, in spite of a paved highway built to Concepción. Boats carry cattle, hides, yerba mate, tobacco, timber and quebracho, a tree that provides the purest form of tannin. On the river, a boat trip to Concepción is one of the most interesting ways to see the country. East of the river, towards Brazil, is the historically significant Cerro Corá national park.
