Cayuvava

The Cayuvava people inhabit the plains of the Mamoré basin, a country of rivers, savannas and seasonal floods. Their language is distinct from those of many neighbouring peoples. Jesuit missionaries founded the mission of Exaltación among the Cayuvava at the beginning of the eighteenth century. The Mamoré provided a water route through the lowlands, linking the mission settlements of Moxos to the wider river system.

The later city of Trinidad lies nearby.
