Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
At the end of the catastrophic War of the Triple Alliance, which killed a huge share of Paraguay’s population, President Francisco Solano Lopez retreated through the wilderness with the national treasury, gold, jewels and church silver, on ox carts. He was killed at Cerro Cora in 1870, and the treasure was never accounted for. Legend says it lies buried along the retreat, and Paraguayans have hunted it ever since. Guarani folklore fills the same forests with the Yasy Yatere and the Pombero.
The Cerro Cora retreat (Paraguay). Source: A real national treasury that vanished in 1870, still unaccounted for. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
