Rally Paraguay 2025 — Your guide to Encarnación and surrounding areas

Event dates: August 28–31, 2025 (Encarnación, Itapúa).
(Always check the official itinerary for section times and last-minute changes.)

1) Quick summary

Base: Encarnación — home of the Service Park (Centro Cívico), ceremonies, and entrance to the Parc Fermé.
The Service Park will be located in the modern Centro Cívico Municipal of Encarnación, also known as the Sambadrome, a monumental structure 440 m long and with a capacity for 11,000 people, similar to the large sambadromes of Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. The rally’s opening and closing ceremonies will take place here, as well as the entrance to the Parc Fermé, a secure area where cars are technically checked before and after racing. The center’s urban infrastructure facilitates access to services, transportation, and fan areas, making it the key logistical point for participants and spectators.
