Apyteré

Apyteré is one of the names recorded for Guarani communities of southern South America. Guarani peoples inhabited the coast and interior of southern Brazil, including the lagoons and wooded lowlands of Santa Catarina. Their language belongs to the Tupi-Guarani family, and their communities cultivated crops and maintained relationships across a broad region of rivers and forest.

The later city of Florianópolis lies nearby.
