Coronel Oviedo is the capital of the Caaguazú region and has about 55,000 inhabitants

This is the hometown of the ex-president of Paraguay Nicanor Duarte Frutos. In addition, Coronel Oviedo is the general starting point for the annual pilgrimage to Caacupe. The eponymous General Lino César Oviedo Silva attempted a coup d'état in 1996, but it failed and Señor Oviedo was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Whoever goes on vacation in Paraguay will surely pass through this city, because from here the roads lead in all directions. To Ciudad del Este, Asuncion, Villarrica and the north.
