La Cangayé, National Historic Site in Chaco Province, Argentina
The archaeological remains at La Cangayé include foundations of colonial structures positioned along the right bank of Bermejo River at -25.599611 latitude.
Following the 1774 peace treaty between Spanish explorer Gerónimo Luis de Matorras and Cacique Paykín, La Cangayé operated as a reduction settlement from 1780 to 1793.
The site represents the meeting point of Spanish missionaries and Mocoví indigenous people, where religious practices merged with native traditions during colonial times.
Visitors can explore the archaeological remnants through guided tours that explain the significance of structural elements and artifacts discovered during excavations.
Archaeological investigations at La Cangayé in 1945 by Alfredo Martinet and José Alumni revealed the layout of this former reduction settlement with 906 inhabitants.
