Deep in the arid landscapes of Mendoza, in Lagunas del Rosario, Rubén Díaz—an artisan, Malvinas War veteran, and healer known as Caballo Loco (Crazy Horse)—holds a clandestine ceremony every winter solstice, open only to initiates. During an all-night vigil, pilgrims from faraway places gather seeking relief from illness, grief, and pain. Surrounded by bonfires, prayers, and ancestral stories, the community strives to banish the hardships of a land scarred by drought and the disappearance of its waters.
