Lima

Lima is a district in San Pedro department, more than 220 km from Asunción, on the Río Aguaray Guazú. It began in 1792 as a mission for Guaná Indians, founded on the riverbank by Fray Pedro Bartolomé, and was formally established as a district in 1901; the district covers roughly 992 km². It borders San Pablo and Choré to the south, separated by the Río Jejuí Guazú. The area's indigenous history includes the Mbayá and Payaguá peoples, who historically ranged across the broader Jejuí river basin. Cattle ranching, yerba mate harvesting, and some crop farming are the main economic activities today.
