Paraguay holds three large rivers - The Paraguay (above), Parana, and Pilcomayo (left) rivers. 

Two major regions divide the country; The Paranena, east of the Paraguay River, is a fertile, cultivated landscape, with rolling hills, low mountains, and subtropical forests. 

To the west of the Paraguay River, the hot scrublands and low plains of the Chaco cover about 60% of Paraguay's total land area.
