Capioví is a village and municipality in Misiones Province in north-eastern Argentina.[1]
Land was first acquired in the area by the Carlos Culmey Company, in 1919, and the following year, Enrique Graef and his family became the future town's first settlers. Named for the Capioví Falls, upstream, the village grew following Culmey's installation of a sawmill. The cultivation of yerba maté was folloed by the 1971 opening of a Papel Misionero paper mill.
