Pincheira brothers, Royalist guerrilla leaders in southern Chile and Argentina
The Pincheira brothers commanded a large group of fighters that included Chilean, Argentine, and indigenous members across the Andes mountain range.
From 1818 to 1832, four brothers led armed resistance against the new Chilean republic, initially supporting Spanish colonial rule before turning to banditry.
Their actions influenced regional narratives about resistance and survival, leading to multiple representations in literature, television, and local folklore.
The Cueva de los Pincheira, located in the Chilean mountains, stands as a historical site marking one of their main operational bases.
The group formed strategic alliances with Mapuche tribes, particularly the Boroanos, enabling them to control vast territories between Chile and Argentina.
