BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - AUGUST 20: People keep their culture alive as visiting to the “Gauchito Gil” sanctuary at Mercedes in Buenos Aires, Argentina on August 20, 2024. It is almost an obligation for devotees of San La Muerte to go to his party on August 15 or 20 in one of the two most famous sanctuaries currently in Corrientes: the more traditional one in Empedrado and the newer one and spectacular in Solari. San La Muerte is a popular saint venerated in the Southern Cone region, with a cult present in Paraguay, northeastern Argentina, especially in the province of Corrientes, the northern coast of Uruguay in the departments of Salto and Artigas, and in the southern Brazil, in the states of Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Since the 1960s, due to internal migrations, this cult has spread to other Argentine provinces such as Jujuy, Santa Fe, Buenos Aires, especially in the Conurbano, and the Capital.
