Santa Rosa del Aguaray, a town in the San Pedro Department in north-central Paraguay, lies about 290 kilometres north of Asunción along Route 3, the main traffic artery between Asunción and Pedro Juan Caballero. It was founded in 1976 and named after Saint Rose of Lima and the Aguaray River. The name Aguaray comes from Guaraní and means river of the aguarás, the maned wolves that live in the surrounding cerrado areas. Today the town has around 25 000 inhabitants. Santa Rosa del Aguaray quickly developed into an important transport and supply hub for the northern part of the San Pedro Department and the neighbouring Concepción Department. Economically the town relies on soybean and maize farming, sesame production, cattle ranching and transport services. Several gas stations, hotels, restaurants and logistics companies operate along Route 3. Notable sights include the modern parish church and the Mercado Municipal showcasing agricultural specialities of the region.
