📋 Tender Overview
The new PY21 route, in the Puerto Indio-Superhighway junction section, not only seeks to improve connectivity in Alto Parana, but also proposes an unprecedented initiative as environmental mitigation: the construction of the first wildlife viewpoint of Mbaracayu, which integrates infrastructure, conservation and nature tourism. The viewpoint would be located at kilometer 7.7, on the right side of the route, in the vicinity of the emblematic Laguna de los Patos. This wetland, recognized for its high ecological value, is home to a notable diversity of wildlife and is a privileged setting for observing species in their natural habitat. From this strategic point, visitors and local residents will be able to see migratory and resident birds, as well as characteristic mammals of the area such as monkeys, armadillos, mykure, porcupines, quaties and small deer, strengthening the enhancement of the natural heritage of this part of the country. The viewpoint proposal has already been presented to the Directorate of Socio-Environmental Management of the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (DGSA-MOPC), where it is in the technical analysis stage for approval. The site was verified on the ground during the CAF 2025 mission, with the participation of the socio-environmental team of the company Roggio S.A., responsible for the execution of the road works. Viewpoint details Regarding infrastructure, the initiative includes an inclusive access ramp, walkways with metal railings, a reinforced concrete viewing platform, rest areas with seats and gardening spaces. The design aims to guarantee safety conditions, universal accessibility and an observation experience that is respectful of the natural environment. The PY21 route is executed in two lots that, together, add up to 60.3 kilometers. Lot 1 is in charge of the company Benito Roggio e Hijos S.A., while Lot 2 is executed by LT S.A., under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC). The financing of the venture is provided by the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF), with a total investment that exceeds G. 300,000 million (lots 1 and 2), consolidating an infrastructure that seeks to leave its mark not only on the road map, but also on the environmental conservation of Mbaracayu.
