Caazapá (Spanish pronunciation: [ka(a)saˈpa]) is a city in Paraguay, founded in 1607, by Friar Luis de Bolaños.

The Franciscan mission at Caazapá was an important event in Paraguayan cultural heritage.

The latter was called Caaçapá in Classical Guarani, meaning "[the place] after the forest."

This was due to the natives' belief that somewhere beyond the forest God, through Friar Luis de Bolaños, had made water spring out.

Caazapá has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa)[2] with hot summers and warm winters Source:[1]
