Pozo Colorado is a town in Paraguay, located in the department of Presidente Hayes.

After the Chaco War, it became primarily a military base, surrounded by ranches whose owners lived mainly in Asunción.

Besides the military presence, the police are also there, as well as other government offices that have to do with cattle sanitation and husbandry.

It is practically on the border of the swamps and wetlands of the Bajo Chaco.

Typical of the area are the large clumps and even small forests of palm trees Copernicia alba and various types of algarrobos (Prosopis).
