La Tirana

La Tirana is a town of dusty streets and adobe houses with a church and a piece of history as its onlyattractions.

La Tirana is named after an Inca princess Huillac usca. In 1535 Diego de Almagro, a Spanishconquistador, marched south from Cusco to conquer Chile. Only 500 Spaniards where willing to go withhim to conquer these lands that they thought would be poor. So Diego de Almagro took with him tenthousand conquered Incas including the Inca princess and an Inca Prince. The party included, unknownto Almagro, a number of highly trained Wilkas (Inca Warriors) from the Inca Royal Army.

The group reached the Atacama where the princess slipped away to freedom with the prince and 100Wilka warriors. The princess organised the group into a sophisticated army and over the next four yearswaged war on the occupying Spaniards. She declared her mission was Death to all Spaniards and to allAmerindians baptised by them. Her brutality earned her the name La Tirana or The Tyrant.

Some years later La Tiranas army attacked their enemy and captured a prisoner, Don Vasco deAlmeyda, a Portuguese miner. As the legend goes,simply to look at him was to fall in love with him, and

La Tirana did. However, according to everything she stood for, this foreigner had to die, so she devised aplan, an excuse, to keep the prisoner alive and not loose the faith of her army. She consulted the starsand the gods and claimed they had ordered her to keep the prisoner alive until four moons had passed.The ruse worked and her army followed her command. For the next four months, La Tirana and DonVasco spent every day together, and she began to neglect her people and duties, this caused suspicionamong the Wilkas who kept a secret watch on her.

When the fourth month ended, La Tirana asked her loved one if they would be reunited in heaven foreternity if she too were a Christian. Don Vasco replied they would and she begged to be baptised. DonVasco agreed and began to baptise her, but before he could finish, the Wilkas burst through the door andshowered the couple with arrows.

As La Tirana lay dieing she cried, I am dying happy, as I am sure that after my death my soul willascend to Gods throne. All that I ask is that my after my death, you will bury me next to my lover and

place a cross over our grave.

Ten years later Padre Antonio Rondon arrived in the area to evangelise the local Amerindians, and to hissurprise he discovered a simple cross over a grave at the spot where La Tirana had died.
