from 1887 until he died in 1929.
Bertoni discovered and classified many new species of plants and left an impressive collection of more than 7000 vegetal species and about 6500 insects. His work and research in botany, meteorology, and anthropology has been a great contribution to the scientific knowledge of the natural life in Paraguay. His work gave him both national and international recognition. One of the plants he studied in depth was ka'a he'ê (Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni), which is a herb, indigenous of Paraguay, and is important today as a non-caloric sweetener, reputed to be 300 times sweeter than sugar. He also scientifically classified Yerba maté
(Ilex paraguariensis).
Widely known as el Sabio Bertoni (the wise Bertoni), he is regarded as one of the most extraordinary immigrants to ever arrive in Paraguayan lands.

However, investigated thoroughly, going through the physical and natural sciences, the anthropology
, testing linguistic and ideological, philosophical observations and historical commentary.
Bertoni is part of a group of scientists fascinated by the novelty, exoticism and the possibility of conducting new research that offered extensive virgin territories of the continent, and its idea was eventually settled by creating the conditions to install a lasting colony in the New World.
In 1891 he founded on the banks of the Paraná, in possession of 12,500 hectares (5 square miles), the "William Tell Colony", today known as Puerto Bertoni, the final resting place of the family Bertoni.
