Legend tells that a Guarani chief had to escape enemies by crossing a stream and that he left the indelible imprints of his feet and hands. Local Jesuits provided asylum to the chief, baptized him and gave name of Santo for such a miracle.
In Guarani “PI” means foot and “PO” hands, “RE” footprints. This is how Piporé was formed, which means: Footprints and Hand of the chief Santo. The place was called Santo Pipó.
