- Summit viewpoint — A short but steep hike rewards you with wide, panoramic views over the surrounding hills and forest; great at sunrise or late afternoon when the light turns everything golden.
- Pockets of native forest — Small but lush remnants of Paraguay’s native forest cling to the slopes, full of ferns, epiphytes and shady trails that feel a world away from the lowlands.
