Pacawara (Pacahuara) is a nearly extinct Panoan language. The Pacahuara have been located to northwest of Magdalena, Beni, Bolivia[3] and to Nueva Esperanza municipality, of Federico Román Province in Pando.[4] Pacahuara is recognized as an official language of Bolivia by the 2009 Bolivian Constitution.[5]
A recent report shows how their culture is on the brink of disappearing.[6]
