The Abipones originally occupied the Chaco region of Paraguay, east of the Paraná River They were originally a seasonally mobile people of hunters, gatherers, fishers and to a limited extent farmers.
In 1641 the Abipones had already obtained the horse from the Spanish settlers and abandoned farming for cattle and horse raiding. By that time they still lived north of the Bermejo River They became feared by their neighbours and the Spanish farmers, and even threatened major cities.
