Lewfuko

Lewfuko is a lagoon and place in the wooded plains of the Pampas, its name combining Mapudungun words for river and water. It became a centre of the Ranquel people, with camps around the lagoon and routes leading to other settlements across the caldén woodland. Panghitruz Güor, later known as Mariano Rosas, was born near its shores around 1825, in a country governed by Indigenous leaders.
