Oratorio de la Difunta Correa, Religious shrine in Vallecito, San Juan Province, Argentina.

The sanctuary contains multiple chapels filled with offerings, including water bottles and license plates from grateful travelers and truck drivers.

The shrine marks where Deolinda Correa died of thirst in the 1840s while following her husband who was recruited during Argentine civil wars.

The sanctuary receives one million annual pilgrims who believe in the miraculous powers of Deolinda Correa despite no official Catholic Church recognition.

Located 63 kilometers from San Juan airport and 1160 kilometers from Buenos Aires, the sanctuary provides camping areas, hotels, and restaurants.

The central chapel displays a sculpture of Deolinda lying down with her infant son at her breast, symbolizing the first miracle attributed to her.
