A historical fact about Alto Paraguay includes the Battle of Tuyuti in 1866; it was one of the largest battles ever fought in South America where forces from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay fought against local indigenous people in alliance with Paraguayans during the War of Triple Alliance (1864-1870). This battle has been considered one of Latin America's greatest military feats due to its remarkable result - despite being outnumbered 10:1 by their opponents - which was a decisive victory for their side.
