Barranca Yaco
Barranca de Yaco or Barranca Yaco (from the Spanish ''barranca'' (gully) and the Quechua ''yaku'' (water)) is a geographical feature along the ancient ''camino real'' (''royal road'') of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, located between Villa Tulumba and Sinsacate, in the province of Córdoba, Argentina. The place is famous because General Juan Facundo Quiroga, Governor and '' caudillo'' of La Rioja, was assassinated there by a party led by Santos Pérez, on 16 February 1835, during the Argentine Civil Wars. Santos Pérez along with the former Governor of Córdoba José Vicente Reynafé and two of his brothers were judged and hanged for this crime at Buenos Aires in 1837. Since 2009 there is a memorial square that remembers Quiroga and those killed with him. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The canyons were formed by six rivers that drain the western side of the Sierra Tarahumara (a part of the Sierra Madre Occidental). All six rivers merge into the Rio Fuerte and empty into the Gulf of California. The walls of the canyon are a copper/green color, which is the origin of the name.
