Ruins to the Jesuit Guarani settlements are scattered throughout Southern Brazil, Paraguay and the Argentine department of Misiones. The Guarani language is alive, and the more direct descendants exist in a marginalized condition. As well we met descendants of Guarani in La Plata who still had some base in the language.
The atmosphere among the ruins is beautiful, loud chiharra vibes filling the air, tranquil. 8 generations of Guarani lived under the protection of the Jesuits, until their expulsion, followed by the Portuguese slavers.
