The terrain of Itapúa ranges from low river margins along its southern Paraná border to rolling, cultivated uplands inland, giving the department a predominantly rural, river-oriented character. The Paraná River forms the boundary with Argentina and has long connected the area with cross-border trade and travel. Encarnación, the departmental capital, stands opposite Posadas and is Itapúa’s main urban centre. The UNESCO-listed Jesuit Missions of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangue preserve the remains of 17th- and 18th-century mission communities.
