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