Avaes

Avaes lies near the northern edge of the Iberá marshes, where sandy ridges rise above the wet grasslands and floating vegetation. After the expulsion of the Jesuits and attacks on the mission towns, Guaraní refugees came to the margins of Iberá. In 1817 they established the communities that became Loreto and San Miguel; a decade later both were incorporated into Corrientes.

The later city of Pilar lies here.
