Like most villages and towns in Paraguay , Mbocayaty del Guairá has a large plaza in the city center in front of the town hall, in Mbocayaty this plaza is designed as a children's playground with swings, climbing frames, etc. The village also has several bakeries, butchers, small supermarkets, churches, schools, a radio station and four police stations.

Mbocayaty's population consists largely of Paraguayans, but there is also a small proportion of Germans, Brazilians and other foreigners. Several times a year, well-attended events such as village festivals, car rallies, cattle auctions, horse races and much more take place here.
Costa-Mbocayaty
Costa-Mbocayaty is the part of the village located a little further outside the center of Mbocayaty. In Costa-Mbocayaty there are mainly large plots of 3-15 hectares. In Costa-Mbocayaty, livestock is raised on a small scale. Costa-Mbocayaty is a lot deeper than the center of Mbocayaty itself and after heavy rains a large lake is often created (primarily towards Villarrica directly on Ruta 8), which makes many areas of Costa-Mbocayaty unsuitable as building plots. In addition, all sand paths were improved in 2012 as part of the above-mentioned beautification campaign (partly with paving stones).
