Gualas

The Gualas, also known as Guachas, were an Indigenous group of the Córdoba hills, south of the Caminigas. They are included among the peoples known as Comechingones, who inhabited both sides of the mountain ranges of central Argentina. Before Spanish conquest their communities cultivated crops and made pottery. The arrival of colonists in the sixteenth century brought new demands on land and labour in the valleys and adjoining plains.
