Photographer’s Note

This is where the remains of Che and his comrades rest in peace. The sculpture shows him with a gun in one hand and with a broken arm. There is a little museum on site. His and comrades' remains rest in little vaults embedded in the wall of a small burial chamber that is open to visitors. (I am sure he would have preferred an open-air place with a perfect vista.)

On each little vault, there is a relief of the person (that must have been a challenge to identify who was who thinking of the conditions they were found) lying there.

(Funniest part of the day was when I accidentally run into my old school teacher who I had not seen for 25 years. So far away from our country. She was a "chubby Che" from head to toe; a Che beret, Che T-shirt and a cargo pant. Che's bones must have spinned in his grave ;-))
