Ciudad del Este is visited as a city: Lago de la República in Boquerón, San Blas cathedral (the temple shut since the 9 Feb 2026 fire), El Mensú museum, Mezquita del Este, the SENATUR desk and a table. It is not Itaipú (Hernandarias), not Monday Falls (Presidente Franco) and not a mall list.
The urban work is Av. del Lago, Carlos A. López, Pioneros del Este, Andrés Rodríguez 675 and Adrián Jara at Estigarribia. Friendship Bridge drops you on the shop axis: that card lives on another URL. The Ñande Renda waterfront (Km 8 Acaray) is still works: not a finished walk. Parque Verde is abandoned (ABC, 5 Aug 2026): do not build it as a park.
The city card sits at Ciudad del Este. The galleries live in shopping in Ciudad del Este 2026. The falls, in Monday Falls (Presidente Franco). Itaipú is asked for in Hernandarias, not on San Blas. The country as a list, in places to visit in Paraguay. The start, in things to do in Asunción. This page is only the town.
1) Lago de la República on Avenida del Lago
The park you actually walk is the Amambay-stream lake in Boquerón: path, bike loop and amphitheatre. Última Hora leaves it as the urban lung; you do not go in the water. The amphitheatre opens with an event. It is not Encarnación’s waterfront and not a ticket.

How to walk the city (weekday vs weekend)
Weekday: SENATUR, El Mensú (not Sunday), mosque (call), the lake loop and the cathedral from outside. The table, if it opens, is asked for by phone. Do not stack Itaipú and Monday Falls as if they were this block.
Weekend: the lake fills. The museum shuts on Sunday and on Saturday at 12:00. SENATUR works Saturday until 15:00. The temple stays closed. Galleries and the falls are other URLs.
