Yuty is a town in the Caazapá Department of Paraguay. Located to 98km to the south of the department capital Caazapa and to 330km to the South East of the national capital Asuncion. Its name origin has two theories. The first claims it comes from the Guarani terms yu + ty The second asserts that as the place used to be a reunion site and the natives when asked where they were coming from responded. "Ayu aty hagui" which means "I come from the meeting place" the contraction of that phrase supposedly evolved into the current name Yuty.
