Pedro Juan Caballero in 1 day

If you only have 1 day to spend in Pedro Juan Caballero, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Pedro Juan Caballero appeals to visitors as a lively border city with Brazil, known for its busy shopping districts and mix of Paraguayan and Brazilian culture. The town serves as a gateway to the Amambay hills, a scenic region of rolling green landscapes and rock formations. Nearby nature areas and parks offer opportunities for hiking, waterfalls, and countryside excursions. Its nightlife and informal commerce give the city an energetic, frontier-style atmosphere distinct from Paraguay’s larger urban centers.
With favorites like Parque Nacional Cerro Corá, Studio Center Importados, and Shopping China Importados, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like Pepe's Restaurant-Buffet so you can get the best taste of Pedro Juan Caballero while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Exercise caution when dealing with counterfeit merchandise. Familiarize yourself with the prevailing prices in your local area or online prior to visiting Shopping China Importados. Generally, prices are comparable, but opting for installment payments within Brazil can help you avoid foreign transaction taxes. Additionally, converting your funds into US dollars before shopping can lead to greater savings. It is advisable not to rely on credit cards at this establishment due to potential issues.
The best place to buy original imported goods in Pedro Juan Caballero. The prices are higher than other shops but absolutely everything is good quality and original.

Employees often do not care much about you or are talking in parallel. That's the only apparent and recurrent defect. Despite this, great variety of products and promotions are that worth it, the temptation is great to the point of spending a great deal of money.
Rafael F — Google review
Be aware of fake items. Get to know the prices in the city you live or on the Internet before heading to Shopping China. Usually, prices will be the same but you can pay on installment in Brazil and avoid the IOF tax on foreign expenses. Furthermore, exchange your funds into US dollars before shopping. That way you will save more. Do not use your credit card!

good prices to buy in dollar or Brazilian real. Cozy food court and Brazilian foods available. beware of salespeople

Best products in PJC, competitive prices. If you are planning to spend more than $500 I suggest checking the exchange rate before hand and comparing to the exchange places downtown PJC.

It's ok. Was better earlier. Today you enters a 3rd world H&M, whilst earlier you had a proper department store, not only clothing and co.

Touristic stop in Paraguay! Great choice of products and fair prices. The food court has now some new choices of restaurants.

It was not as crowded as shopping China but its products are inferior in quality. The restroom is maybe the only thing better than the shopping China.

Pepe's Restaurant-Buffet

$$$$affordable
Brazilian restaurant
Pepe's Restaurant-Buffet is a charming dining spot that has captured the hearts of many over the years. With its elegant decor featuring cloth napkins and real tablecloths, it exudes a refined atmosphere that feels both chic and welcoming. The restaurant remains well-preserved, offering a taste of tradition in Paraguay. Guests rave about the delicious Paraguayan soup and the exceptional straw potatoes served with filet Wellington, making every meal memorable.
If you ever wanted to know how someone keeps a restaurant in shape for so many decades then, you'd better have lunch or dinner at this very picturesque restaurant before talking to the owners or a waiter who has been working there since I was a teenager. For the last 36 years this restaurant has been nothing but awsome!
Luciano G — Google review
Filet mignon steaks and live polka paraguaya even on weekdays. The musicians and the attendants have worked there for over 20 years and it's probably the last place you can still have an authentic experience of old times Paraguay.
Fabio O — Google review
(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is quite quaint. I went because I had heard good things about it, as it is a traditional restaurant in PY. I thought the decor was beautiful, the food was delicious and we were very well served by the waiter who has worked there for 41 years, as he told us. The menu has prices in Guarani, which makes it a bit difficult and it is not very cheap. I found the prices to be quite steep, haute cuisine style. Another difficulty is that all the dishes are in Spanish (without the translation next to it) and you have to depend on the waiter (who is very kind, thank goodness). But it was worth it. I really wanted to try it. I went with my family and we loved it! Oh, and they have a delicious Paraguayan soup as a starter. The service was not only good, but also fast. We were served in no time. Choose soft drinks, juices, beers or wine over fruit drinks (just a tip). (Original) O ambiente é bem caricato, fui porque ouvi falar muito bem, por ser um restaurante tradicional no PY. Achei linda a decoração, uma delícia a comida e fomos muito bem atendidos pelo garçom que lá trabalha há 41 anos, conforme nos falou. O cardápio tem valores em guarani, o que dificulta um pouco e não é muito barato, achei bem salgado o valor, estilo alta gastronomia. Outra dificuldade é todos os pratos estarem em espanhol (sem a tradução ao lado) e ser necessário depender do garçom (muito gentil, ainda bem). Mas valeu à pena, eu queria muito conhecer, fui com a família e adoramos! Ahh, tem uma sopa paraguaia deliciosa como entrada. O atendimento além de bom, foi ágil, não demorou nada para sermos servidos. Prefiram refrigerantes, sucos, cervejas ou vinho à drink's de frutas (fica a dica).
Vaneska S — Google review
(Translated by Google) I apologize for the biased review, but in your case, it couldn't be any different, given the fond memories this place brings back. I used to frequent this place with my family on our visits to the neighboring country. And it's been over thirty years! Memories aside, this place deserves its 5 stars. The food is unique and delicious. The atmosphere is rustic and traditional, extremely pleasant, and the service is provided by experienced and highly professional waiters who know the menu and know what they're doing. It makes all the difference. I don't usually enjoy live music, but here it's an exception. When there is live music, it's an attraction that positively complements the experience. Traditional Paraguayan music. The price is reasonable. I imagine that if it were in Brazil, in a major city, considering what it offers, it would certainly be much more expensive! Highly recommended! (Original) Sinto pela avaliação enviesada, mas no seu caso não tem como ser diferente, visto a memória afetiva que esse local me trás. Frequentava o local com minha família em nossas visitas ao país vizinho. E lá se vão mais de trinta anos ! Deixando um pouco as recordações de lado, o local merece as 5 estrelas. A comida é diferenciada, deliciosa. O ambiente é rústico e tradicional, extremamente agradável e o atendimento é prestado com garçons experientes e altamente profissionais, que conhecem o cardápio e sabem o que estão fazendo. Faz a diferença. Normalmente eu não gosto de música ao vivo, mas aqui é excessão. Quando tem, é uma atração que complementa de forma positiva a experiência. Músicas tradicionais do Paraguai. O preço é razoável..imagino que se fosse no Brasil em um grande centro, pelo que oferece, certamente seria bem mais caro! Altamente recomendado!

(Translated by Google) I used to go to this restaurant when I was a little girl and I loved going back there. At that time, the city had practically only one street. It is very well preserved and has a much more refined spirit. Everything is very tidy, with cloth napkins, real tablecloths, and clean copperware. It is very chic. The Paraguayan soup is still the same and we were very well served. It is not cheap, but the food is good. The straw potatoes in the filet Wellington are excellent. (Original) Eu frequentava este restaurante quando era mocinha e adorei voltar lá. A cidade naquela época tinha praticamente só uma rua. Está muito bem conservado e com o espírito muito mais refinado. Tudo muito arrumado, guardanapos de tecido, toalhas de verdade, os cobres limpos, ficou bem chique. A sopa paraguaia continua a mesma e fomos muito bem atendidos. Não é barato, porém come-se bem. A batata palha do filet a Wellington é ótima.
Virginia C — Google review
(Translated by Google) Whenever we go to Paraguay, we have lunch or dinner at this restaurant. I know there is a cultural prejudice in the region, because people are afraid of it being in Paraguay. But, honestly, it is the best restaurant there. The food is very tasty, well prepared, and clean. We have always had good service... I recommend it to anyone who goes to Paraguay. (Original) Sempre que vamos ao Paraguay, almoçamos ou jantamos nesse restaurante. Sei que existe o preconceito cultural de região, por terem medo de ser no paraguay. Mas, sinceramente é o melhor restaurante de lá. Comida é muito saborosa, bem caprichada, e limpinho. Todas as vezes fomos bem atendidos… recomendo para quem vai ao paraguay.
