Those early Guaraní had a reputation as fierce fighters. Members of their warrior class, the quereimba, were believed to be able to throw spears over mountain ranges, invariably killing their intended victims, and to catch arrows shot at them in their bare hands. The Guaraní never got much further west than Ingre, because higher up in the Andes they would have had to face the Incas. On the other hand, they quickly came to dominate the lowlands peoples that already populated the lower regions.
