Gualichu: in search of the sacred tree of the offerings

The Indians called "Gualichu" to all places where bad things had happened. Darwin had written 180 years ago in that area was a tree sacred to the Indians and their branches hung offerings.

El Carmen: the fire and blood battle between Brazil and Argentina

El Carmen I came to looking for a sacred tree of the indigenous, "El Algarrobo Gualichu". The chronicles speak of it dating 1833, when the strongman of Argentina, Rosas, carried out a campaign against the Indians. The only vintage image I found the town was one of a French traveler, Alcide D'Orbigny.
