Quick Summary

Borbón, later renamed Fuerte Olimpo, was a fort established in 1792 in northern Paraguay. It is situated across the Paraguay River from Brazil and is located in the sparsely populated Chaco Boreal region. Fuerte Olimpo serves as the primary port and a trade center for the area, with livestock raising being the main economic activity. The town is accessible by road for part of the year, but most travel to Asunción is by river.1
