<sup>*</sup> The districts of [[Doctor Raúl Peña]] and [[Tavapy]] were created after the 2002 Census, and therefore not displayed on the map.

Alto Paraná has a combination of valleys and streams that come from the [[Paraná River]]. It also has mountainous areas of high elevation that can reach 300 meters above sea level.

The lands near the banks of the Paraná River have forests, which are threatened in the present by indiscriminate [[deforestation]]. There are local efforts to combat this through the introduction of reforestation programs, with managed planting of different species of [[pine]].
