Mrubicha

Mrubicha lies near Charagua and the Parapetí River, on the eastern side of the Andean foothills. Guaraní-speaking society in this region arose through encounters between earlier Chané communities and Tupí-Guaraní arrivals. The communities around Charagua maintained considerable autonomy through the colonial centuries, even as missions and cattle estates pressed upon their lands. In 1814, Guaraní people from the missions of the Charagua and Gran Parapetí district fought alongside General Blanco's troops.
