San Bernardino: O Paradise in Beira do Lago Ypacará for Investors
San Bernardino: where the lazer finds the investment
Just 47 km from Assunção, San Bernardino is Paraguay's main summer destination. Lake Ypacará, with its calm waters and dazzling landscape, attracts tourists all year round — and with it, a growing demand for quality accommodations.
For the investor, San Bernardino offers a robust business model: mobile for personal use during the fairs and source of passive income via Airbnb or seasonal rentals during the remainder of the year.
The seasonal market in San Bernardino
The high season runs from October to March, coinciding with the Paraguayan summer. During this period, chalets and houses with lake access reached USD 150–400 per day, with occupancy rates above 80%.
