A través del Paso de Uspallata el Ejército de los Andes -a mando de Juan Gregorio de las Heras-, cruzó la cordillera de los Andes en 1817, con el propósito de liberar a Chile de manos realistas.
Lago Acigami [or Errázuriz or Roca] is a binational lake, located in the south of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. The glacial lake is the result of a natural enclosing of the Lapataia River, the product of a glacial moraine. The aboriginal name of the lake is Acigami, which in the Yagán language means "basket or elongated bag" / Tierra del Fuego National Park (Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego) is a national park within the Argentine portion of the island of Tierra del Fuego. Tierra del Fuego National Park is studded with mountains, lakes and rivers, which form deep valleys. It is bounded on the west by the Chilean border, on the north by Lago Fagnano, and on the south by the Beagle Channel, which forms the shoreline. It encompasses an area of 160,000 acres and represents two ecoregions: the Altos Andes subantarctic forest and the Patagonian Forest. While the former ecoregion is made up of hill ranges and slopes, the latter has high and jagged mountains, glacier valleys and semi-deciduous forests. The landscape of the park is the result of glacial erosion, which has created bays and beaches against a backdrop of rugged mountains and valleys. The park has dramatic scenery, with waterfalls, forests, mountains and glaciers. Its 240 square miles include parts of the Fagnano and Roca lakes. The Senda Costera (Coastal Path), connecting Ensenada Bay to Lapataia Bay on Lago Roca, is a popular hiking trail within the park. Forests of Antarctic beech, lenga beech and coihue in the lower elevations of the park are home to many animal species. Ushuaia, the capital of Tierra del Fuego Province, is located in a wide bay on the southern coast of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, bounded on the north by the Martial mountain range, and on the south by the Beagle Channel. It is a light industrial port and tourist hub, being one of the major ports used for Antarctic Tourist Expeditions.

Y como me lo promentí, conocí el pueblo de Andes, donde nació el profesor de mi tío, el que tantos poemas dejó, el que creó el nadaismo, el que le dijo a Colombia que todo estaba mal, el primero de esos grandes.
"No pasa nada, mi amor. Sobre la terraza vuela un helicóptero, pero no estoy seguro. Puede ser una mosca. Sólo el reloj me habla de este minuto de la eternidad en que tu párpado se cierra y la tierra desaparece. Sucedía cuando te besaba y éramos felices. Tal vez ahora seas feliz en otra parte, sin mí. ¿O eres infeliz? Entonces, ¿qué hacer para seguir viviendo?"
Me encontré con una Biblioteca, y con unos artistas buscando hacer un homenaje real, pues su tumba no tiene nada, ni sus restos según muchos dicen. El pueblo huele a café con hierba.
Si le interesa apoyar a los artistas, me cuenta y yo le paso el dato.
