La Difunta Correa, Argentina

All along the roadside were huge piles of plastic bottles. It turns out these are shrines to La Difunta Correa who died in the 1840's. According to legend during the Argentine Civil Wars the husband of Deolinda Correa was forcibly recruited.

When he became sick, he was abandoned in the desert by the Montoneras [partisans]. In an attempt to reach her sick husband, Deolinda took her baby and followed the tracks of the Montoneras but her supplies ran out and she died.

Her body was found days later by gauchos (cowboys) who were driving cattle through the desert. They were astonished when they saw the dead woman's baby was still alive, feeding from her miraculously ever-full breast. The men buried her body in present-day and took her baby with them.

Cattle ranchers and cowboys built small altars to La Difunta Correa, The Deceased Deolinda Correa, along several routes throughout the country, with images and sculptures of the Deceased. Today, this tradition is continued by truck drivers who leave bottles of water as votive offerings to calm her eternal thirst.
