Experience the land that the Guarani Tribe has called home

The Guarani were one of the first peoples contacted after Europeans arrived in South America around 500 years ago. They have been searching for a place revealed to them by their ancestors where people live free from pain and suffering, which they call ‘the land without evil’.

Over hundreds of years, the Guarani have traveled from the deep Amazonia, in search of this land, in which they imagine they will find immortality and perpetual ease.

This permanent quest is indicative of the unique character of the Guarani, a ‘difference’ about them which is noted by outsiders.

Modern Paraguay has a strong Guaraní heritage. Paraguay has strong legal obligations under Constitution that give Indigenous Peoples cultural rights and ownership to ancestral land, besides, Guaraní language, is an official language in the country. Despite this, in practice, Guarani still face high levels of discrimination and exclusion.

Knowing the current Guarani way of life for us was an edifying experience, we invite you to experience that ancestral culture and its history.
