Cerro Cora National Park is the largest protected area in Paraguay with 5,538 hectares. It is located in Amambay Department, 45 km from the departmental capital, Pedro Juan Caballero and the border with Brazil. Established on February 11, 1976, it is a nature reserve, as well as a major historical site. This place was the setting where last battle of the Paraguayan War took place, on March 1, 1870. The park has several historical monuments, a museum, and a recreation area by the Aquidabán River. In addition to the historical background, many visitors come to the park to appreciate ancient rock writings located in hill caves around the area. == History == The Triple Alliance War (1864–1870) ended next to the Aquidaban Nigui Brook, where Francisco Solano López died saying his famous last words, "I die along with my country". Fortunately, Paraguay was not extinguished, as the Marshall announced, but it was deeply ruined after an endless war that left the country desolated and deprived. This zone, that once was a virgin Rain Forest started to suffer deforestation. Therefore the area was declared protected, and the National Park has been created. The Park is surrounded by hills. Some of them are Ponta Porá, Guazu, Tacuru Pytâ, Alambique, Cerro Corá, Miron, Tanqueria y Tangaro. These and other elevations give shape to a peculiar landscape. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cerro Cora National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
