Ipotykuru: Adventures in the Paraguayan Chaco (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246436561)

Ipotykurú is a true account of life in the Paraguayan Chaco, told from the inside.

Through firsthand experiences and personal anecdotes, the author recounts a life shaped by hard work, isolation, and deep respect for nature and family. The Chaco is a demanding land, marked by floods and droughts, long days of ranch work, and powerful encounters with wildlife-including the jaguar, the King of the Forest.

Ipotykurú, a word from Guaraní meaning flower bud, symbolizes the place where the author's memories, emotions, and experiences took root. This book contains no fiction or embellishment-only lived reality, where silence, responsibility, and survival are part of everyday life.

Sometimes reality is stronger than any invention-and in the Chaco, this truth reveals itself every day.
