Kuarepoti

Kuarepoti is associated with Villa del Rosario, on the eastern bank of the Paraguay River. Its Guaraní name refers to metal or silver, while the river provided a route through the lowlands north of Asunción. The Paraguay links the interior of South America to the Paraná and the Río de la Plata. Settlements along its banks formed part of a riverine world shared by Indigenous communities and Spanish colonists.
