Pai Tavytera

The Paĩ Tavyterã are a Guaraní people whose homeland extends around the hills of the Amambay range. They call the sacred place Jasuka Venda the centre of the earth, a place of deep importance in their traditions. Their country includes forest and streams on both sides of the highlands. Communities cultivated maize, manioc and squash, combining fields with the resources of the surrounding forest.

The later city of Pedro Juan Caballero lies here.
