Kyyindy

Ky’ỹindy is the Guaraní name of Quiindy, in the lowlands south of Asunción. One explanation derives the name from a word for peppers and a suffix denoting a place where they grow. The settlement was founded in 1733 during the colonial period. Its country lies among streams and low hills east of the Paraguay River, within a region where Guaraní speech remained deeply rooted alongside Spanish rule.
