Quisquisacate

Quisquisacate lies on the plains south of the Río Tercero, near the old crossing known as Fraile Muerto. Around 1650 Lorenzo de Lara and Marcela de Mendoza established an estancia on both banks of the river, beside the ford of the royal road. The estate raised mules, and the crossing later became a posting station on the route between Buenos Aires and Upper Peru.
