Casino Carnaval

Greenspace with a Japanese garden (of sorts) and stele and presentation of flags.

Notable for its Cyrillic inscriptions.

The small, artificial beach in Encarnación is surprisingly pleasant. You can stretch out in the sun and soak up the rays, imagining you are at the coast; there is a slight breeze, and the river is wide. You can even go for a dip - apparently it is quite clean and safe. OK for the kids too, as it is not very deep. Yellow buoys separate bathers from jet-skis and boats. Also has a corniche called the Costanera De Encarnación that extends to the north and south ends of the city. If you get hungry, the Hiroshima Grill restaurant has a small outlet on the beach selling snacks and sushi.

Another beach along the Parana River.
