Isla Apipé

The Argentine Island of Apipé and some smaller islets in River Rio Paraná are surrounded by Paraguayan inland waters and is therefore making one Argentine exclave inside Paraguay. The island of Apipé is about 25 km long. It is possible that also other Argentine islands are exclaved outside the motherland. Paraguay is co-operating with Argentina on the construction of the Yacyretá-Apipé hydroelectric powe plant, on the Paraná, with capacity of 2,7m kilowatts.
