Sights in Formosa

  1. Laguna Oca

    Six kilometers south of town, Laguna Oca is a wetland area that has a popular beach, with food kiosks and canoe hire; once you wander away from the weekend crowds, there's a great deal of birdlife to be spotted.

  2. Museo Histórico

    In Casa Fotheringham, a pioneer residence that was the province’s first government house, the Museo Histórico focuses on the foundation and development of Formosa. The museum is small and well organized. The province was part of the Paraguayan Chaco until the 19th-century War of the Triple Alliance, and the museum also houses uniforms, weapons and relics from the period. There are a few old indigenous weavings on display as well.
