The Huarpes or Warpes are indigenous inhabitants of Cuyo in Argentina. Some scholars assume that in the Huarpe language this word means sandy ground but according Arte y Vocabulario de la lengua general del Reino de Chile written by Andrés Fabres in Lima in 1765 the word Cuyo comes from Araucanian cuyum puulli meaning sandy land or desert country.
