Go to sectionThe waters of Santa Fe have always been traveled by bumpid floating masses of vegetation and land, called camalotes. It seems a lie, but sometimes the camalots can be so big that wild animals use them as a means of transport . This Santafesina legend tells the story of a yaguareté (american tiger) that arrived on a camalote to the orchard of the Convent of San Francisco. The geographical environment, today, is the Paseo de las Dos Culturas, in the historic center of the city.
The tiger would have snuck into the convent through a window. That morning, one of the friars saw a brother fallen in the sacristy and ran to help him. Upon entering he discovered the fiera next to the corpse of the unfortunate religious . He went back, but it was too late. The tiger pushed to his head and, although the father managed to reject it twice, the third round fell on his back with his face discarded . Seeking to lock up the feline, another young brother approached the sacristy and, when he went to take the door, the jaguar threw himself on him and sank his fangs in his waist , which caused her death.
The news of the tragedy ran like lightning and filled the city with horror. Arrived the santafesino authorities . Keying the sacristy through a window, they introduced several crawler dogs, who did not denote the presence of the jaguar . They came in. On the pavement was seen, in a puddle of blood, the broken head of brother sacristan. His body, on the other hand, was in the sacristy, wherever he went dragged by the fiera.
The anecdote is for a horror story , or a bizarre comedy, or both. Such is so that even a theatrical group came to perform a staging of this coastal legend.
