Article History

Pozo Colorado, town, west-central Paraguay, just south of an economically important forest zone. The town is the centre of the region’s livestock activity and processes a major portion of the country’s beef production.

Pozo Colorado is located at the intersection of roads connecting it with the town of Mariscal Estigarribia to the northwest, the Paraguay River and Concepción to the east, and Villa Hayes, near the confluence of the Pilcomayo and Paraguay rivers, to the southeast. A battalion of military engineers is headquartered in Pozo Colorado, which is a designated centre of development for the largely unpopulated Chaco Boreal. Pop. (2002 est.) 1,706.
