Explore with the Miracle Hunter: Itatí

The reflection of the Lady of Itatí appeared three times under a rock along a river of the Paraná Basin, which led the Franciscan settlers to build a statue dedicated to the Lady of Itatí in 1589.

Shortly afterwards, local Indians fought against the Franciscans and captured the statue. Then they questioned the precise location of the apparition of the Itatí Virgin, and claimed to have found another rock from which a bright light and a surnatural sound emanated.

According to legend, the wooden representation of the Virgin Mary saved the life of 17th-century Jesuit missionary. It is also said that the Virgin intervened in a battle between two native tribes, resulting in the victory of the tribe with the conquerors' aid.
