Guarasugwe Forest

The Guarasugwe forest lies in the upper Guaporé country, amid the waterways and woodland of the southwestern Amazon. Its name recalls the Guarasugwe people, also called Pauserna, whose territory includes the country between the Guaporé, Paraguá and Pauserna rivers. Their language, Warázu, belongs to the Tupi-Guarani family. Rivers thread through this forested interior, joining the lands on either side of the Guaporé.
