Cayubaba

The Cayubaba are an Indigenous people of the Mamoré lowlands in the Llanos de Moxos. Their country lies among rivers, lakes and seasonally flooded savannas. In 1704 the Jesuit Antonio Garriga founded the mission of Exaltación on the Mamoré for the Cayubaba. The mission brought people together under Spanish colonial authority and became an enduring centre of Cayubaba life.
