Ipholhhelhlhup

Ipholhhelhlhup lies in the southern Chaco near the mouths of the Pilcomayo, where the river reaches the Paraguay opposite Asunción. The Pilcomayo carries water and sediment from the Andes across a low plain, linking the interior with the great river corridor. In 1537 the Spanish founded a fort at Asunción on the eastern bank; a few years later its council distributed lands on the western side of the Paraguay as well.

The later city of Villa Hayes lies here.
