Tebicuary is a district in Guaira Department of Paraguay. It is located 132 km to the southwest of Asuncion and 30km to the west of Villarrica. In 2008 it became a district being disengaged from neighboring Coronel Martinez. It is the most recently created district in Guaira. The first mayor was the businessman Juan Bosch Beynen. [1]
The name Tebicuary derives from the Guarani language expression Teyikuera which is a possible reference to the tribes named Teyy. The Teyy people used to inhabit the current departments of Misiones and Paraguari. In this area runs a river also named Tebicuary which is a tributary of the Paraguay River. As the Spanish conquistadors mispronounced the name of the tribe, the original Guarani name evolved into the current spelling. [2]
According to her 1779 will, Juana Ortiz de Zarate, mestiza daughter of Spanish conquistador and governor Juan Ortiz de Zarate was mentioned as a resident in a estate located in the Partido of Ybytymini. By that time the area of Ybytymini comprised the current territory of Tebicuary as well as of neighnoring district Ybytymi. Juana had acquired the estate from a royal ensign named Juan Bautista Achard. In 1785, Spanish traveller Felix de Azara described Ybytymini as "of broad extension" and with a population of 600 people and with crops like sugarcane, tobacco and yucca. [1]
Caazapá is a department in Paraguay. The capital is the city of Caazapá. Among Paraguayans, the department is well known for its orange and mandarin trees, and for its forest hills. The eastern part of Caazapá is relatively undeveloped and consists of rolling hills and large swaths of Brazilian Atlantic interior rainforest between the San Rafael mountains to the south and the Ybytyruzú mountains to the north. The western part is an area of low-lying marshes and swampland area, and consists of wetlands and tributaries to eastern Paraguay's largest river, the Tebicuary. Many indigenous groups make their home in what remains of the rainforest, especially south of the unpaved highway between San Juan Nepomuceno and Tavaí. Mby'a and Guayaki people, who practice farming corn, cassava and yerba mate under the canopy of the forest live in small bands and travel mainly by foot. They are technically protected and their land is a national reserve, but illegal loggers, ranchers, and more recently, Brazilian soybean growers have encroached upon their territory. With Paraguay's weak legal infrastructure, little can be done by way of enforcement or sanctions.
