Ayvu Pora

Ayvu Porã is a name used by a Mbyá Guaraní community in the country east of the Paraguay River. The Mbyá speak a Guaraní language and traditionally established communities in the forests of the Paraná and Paraguay basins. Their livelihood included cultivation, hunting and gathering. In the colonial period Jesuit and Franciscan missions sought to gather Guaraní populations into settlements, while other communities remained in the forest country.

The later city of Concepción lies nearby.
