LaColmena
8.2
Mid score (6-8)
La Colmena was settled by Japanese agricultural colonists starting in 1936 — one of Paraguay's earliest Japanese immigrant communities, still growing yerba maté and farming today. The Japanese-Paraguayan families here have maintained cultural cohesion for nearly a century and are economically more stable than surrounding communities. That self-sufficiency makes them socially less permeable, not more. An interesting place to visit once, but the community is organized in its own way and the surrounding mestizo population is standard rural Paraguay.
