Punta de Vacas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Punta De Vacas is a city in Mendoza Province, Argentina between Mendoza and Puente del Inca, not far from the border with Chile.
From there, the Tupungato mountain can be viewed. This mountain rises at 6800 meters above sea level. It constitutes one of the accesses to the Aconcagua Provincial Park and the ascencion routes to the Aconcagua mountain.
According to the INDEC census of 2001, Punta de Vacas has a population of 47 inhabitants. In spite of its small size and reduced population, this location has gained worldwide popularity due to being the site of one of Silo's first public speeches, the "Harangue for the Healing of Suffering" (see Mario Rodríguez Cobos), on May 4th, 1969. Silo's followers have been congregating around a monolith erected at that location ever since.
