Santa Rosa del Mbutuy is a town and a district located in the Caaguazú area of Paraguay. People who live in the Santa Rosa District often call it 'Cruce del Mbutuy'. This name means 'Mbutuy Crossroads'. It's called this because the town grew up around a place where two important roads meet.
Long ago, the town started to grow because it was built where a paved road met a dirt road. This made it a good spot for people traveling through the area. It also connected Santa Rosa del Mbutuy to other parts of the country.
