'''Filadelfia''' (also called Colonia Fernheim) is a Mennonite colony in the Chaco region of Paraguay. It is a place different from main Paraguay on one hand due to the remote location and harsh environment, on the other hand there is a majority of people of German origin that came by the way of the Soviet Union. The first people arrived in the 1920s and the town was finally founded in 1930. Their economic basis is agriculture in particular cattle farming. The Mennonites still speak German (Plattdeutsch) but Spanish is spoken as readily. The [http://www.fernheim.com.py Fernheim Cooperative] is responsible for many aspects of life in the colony.
Most businesses are closed during lunchtime from 12am to 2pm, as well as on Saturday afternoon and Sunday.
