What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival takes its identity directly from the Rio Apa, the river that forms part of Paraguay's northern border with Brazil and gives Vallemi its remote, riverine character within Concepcion department, one of the country's less visited northern regions

02

The mystery stays covered

Staged at a venue called the Teatro Griego, or Greek theater, an open-air amphitheater-style space, the festival brings a formal concert setting to a small mining and river town whose economy has historically centered on cement production and river trade rather than tourism
