Alpu

Alpu is a Wichí community name in the Pilcomayo country of the northern Argentine Chaco. The Wichí speak languages of the Mataguayan family and traditionally used extensive territories of woodland and riverbank. Hunting, fishing and gathering supplied food as the seasons changed. The Pilcomayo descends from the Andes into the lowlands, where floods spread across the flat country and its channels shift through sand and marsh.
