This Río Paraná then forms the border with Brazil over 190 kilometers and the border with Argentina over 600 kilometers.
If you look at Paraguay on a map, you can see that it runs from northwest to southeast, so it is located “obliquely”. On the one hand, the Paraguay River divides the country, and on the other, the southern tropic.
