Muyupampa

Muyupampa lies in the foothill country between the Andes and the Chaco of southeastern Bolivia. The valleys and wooded slopes form part of the homeland of Guaraní communities who came into this region in successive migrations before and during the sixteenth century. Spanish expansion met sustained Guaraní resistance along the eastern Andean frontier. Communities maintained their own leaders and cultivated the valleys while the colonial settlements pressed toward their lands.
