Huarpe New Year was cellebrated during 24 to 26 August 2018. The Huarpe Community live in Mendoza, San Juan and San Luis, three provinces in Argentina. Huarpe New Year was cellebrated last 25 August in “Encon”, or let´s say near Encon, a zone which is shared by the three provinces. Miguel Gil Huaquinchai, the chief (Cacique) of the Huaquinchai Huarpe community, was in charge of the whole meeting, along with his beloved wife. Many other authorities (mostly “ancianos”, elders of the community) were there too. In fact the cellebration lasted three days.
