    The monument dedicated to the sheep workers of Patagonia is very beautiful to look at. It's worth a quick stop to take a close look at the realistically crafted figures.

      The monument, inaugurated on February 18, 1944, is dedicated to the sheep workers of Patagonia and consists of twelve figures: the shepherd, his horse, two sheep dogs and eight sheep. It symbolizes the economic boom in the region at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. It was initially made of granite and was replaced eighteen years later by figures made of bronze. The bronze sculptures were created by local sculptor Germán Montero. Fragments of the poem “El ovejero de mi tierra” by the Magellan poet José Grimaldi Acotto served as the basis for the work.
