( 34°51´22,07´´S  58°13´47,06´´W .)  Surely, the first Europeans who came to this land thought: "... a huge garden that's America ...", but the garden had owners.  The Kilmes was a native culture that the Incas could not dominate; and they  fought against spanish   for 130 years. They were neutralized and banished . The Kilmes walked 1000 km from the Calchaquies Valleys in Tucumán to reach the shores of the River Plate.

It was first practiced by English settlers in the Rio de la Plata. It was diseminated through the schools of the British community, which began to practice and perform grouped into local championships and leagues.  Then, in 1882 the Scottish Professor Alexander Watson Huttton arrived with balls and inflators  free of customs tax and promoted  football since the school environment.  Why Hudson did not play football?  Simple: non-formal education.

Hace frío, los días son cortos y húmedos con neblina o lluvia e inevitablemente recuerdo el verano. Tengo en mi memoria la imagen de un biguá, nadando y zambulléndose, una y otra vez, en la orilla del estuario del Río de la Plata; sin molestarse por mi presencia. Este pájaro habita en aguas dulces de ríos, arroyos y lagunas de "las pampas". También se lo llama pato cuervo por su hábito acuático y color negro. No hay diferencias entre el macho y la hembra, sólo el ejemplar joven es pardo. En época de cría les crecen a los lados de los ojos plumas blancas. Su largo cuello de forma de S, le permite cazar en el fondo del agua, pequeños moluscos, peces y crustáceos. A veces se encuentra solo, otras vive en grupos de más de 50 aves. Le gusta posarse en árboles y ramas secas, o en las rocas y así pasar las horas. Tiene un primo hermano en Asia (Phalacrocorax  carbo)  que hace cientos de años fue domesticad...

He had the family support, knowledge of English language, their personal contacts  and with perseverance he succeeded.
