SOS Children's Village Hohenau is situated in a jungle area, which is gradually being settled. The nearest city is Encarnación at a distance of 36 km; Asunción, the country's capital, is about 400 km away.

The SOS Children's Village consists of 16 family houses, where up to 144 children can find a new home, the village director's house and an administration and service area. In addition, there is a 50-acre farm, where youngsters from the SOS Children's Village learn how to grow corn, sugar cane and manioc, and how to breed cattle.
