Still and all, Guillermo Larregui is very far from his hometown in the levels of popularity that is still in Argentina and in much of South America.
This Pamplona, \u200b\u200bborn in 1885 in the neighborhood of the Rochapea, immigrated in their day to Argentina. There he became famous because of an unusual wager, which ran a result of walking more than 3400 kilometers, from Patagonia to the city Buenos Aires, pushing a wheelbarrow as unusual as he is. His adventure, which was followed by others, was very soundly, generating in its wake a great expectation, both public and media, which quickly baptized and immortalized him with the nickname "Trolley Basque." Today, his name and figure, are a symbol of tourism promotion in Argentina, and very particularly in the Iguazú National Park, where he died in 1964. Guillermo Emigrante
Larregui, as stated, was born in Pamplona on November 27, 1885 in the neighborhood of the Rochapea. Know the causes that led him across the pond, perhaps for family reasons perhaps by necessity, or perhaps a combination of both reasons, the fact is that just fifteen years old he left behind his native Pamplona and emigrated to Argentina, coming to Buenos Aires in 1900.
initially worked as a sailor-in had to notice something being born by the river Arga-until fate made him move his residence no less than to Patagonia where he worked in Cerro Bagual (Santa Cruz) in a multinational oil company until 1935. Say, and sure it's true, it was very good worker and very good person.
fact, the year of 1935, being in an informal meeting with several friends made with them a bet. You know, the classic bluff. But that changed his life and became one of the most eccentric and famous in Argentina. "We were meeting with friends, commenting on sports records, he later recounted to the Daily Echo Argentine newspaper," I always told them no noise is made about a sporting event is related to the effort. " And at this point of the conversation is when you take the lantern, "I would encourage me to cross all Patagonia ski and go to Buenos Aires with a truck with 199 kilos of weight, if Americans are able to beat all records , why we can not beat us? " . Those
Argentine friends did not know how far he can get a Navarrese, or a Basque, if you say "that you can not!" . In fact, one of his friends, without thinking twice, planted at the Rochapea a truck in front. The surprise came when William Larregui took the truck and started walking. It was March 25, 1935.
He was just the first of four trips that came to do in your life drag your truck. As promised traveled over three thousand miles to get to Buenos Aires. His second expedition, between 1936 and 1938, was from Coronel Pringles to the border of Bolivia. In 1940 he left from Villa María (Córdoba) to Santiago de Chile, where he arrived a year later. And the last trip of the Basque trolley began in 1943, ending at the Iguazu Falls in 1949. Were a total of more than 20000 kilometers. Tenacity
Some thought they saw in him a madman, but it was something I never cared. Guillermo Larregui wanted to show indeed that the Americans were not unique records, yet behind his feat was a lesson in humanity. Tenacity and determination two values \u200b\u200bwere used "Basque truck" to tell us that they all can, in this life you have to have courage and determination if anything is to be achieved.
When he started walking in 1935 all were awaiting him. It was rumored from town to town announcing his arrival, and what they saw was a life lesson of perseverance, a man true to his word. It was these values \u200b\u200bthat made him follow his path as if nothing pass when, and Chubut close, you froze up. William met the scorn and contempt, but also knew the gesture of solidarity and friendly hand, and this second was worth much more than the first.
His own truck was a lesson in economy and austerity, with tool box, kitchen, sink, etc. Really no longer needed to live, were many that could not have not even that.
Word, tenacity, manliness, physical and spiritual strength, and ... a truck, that was his luggage. Of laughter
initial expectation was passed, and finally the recognition. In fact, his arrival in Buenos Aires on May 25, 1936, the eve of Independence Day, served for the locals will cast them into the street to meet him, ovation, and to admire. Guillermo Larregui, grateful for so amazing and massive hosting donated the truck with your belongings then travel to the Museo de Luján, then headed by the historian Henry Udaondo.
was then that "the Basque of the truck" took a real awareness of the values \u200b\u200bsymbolized and was transmitted to society in Argentina. And without thinking twice, he bought another truck, and directed his steps to Tucuman and Mendoza then and even crossed the Andes, and did not stop until you get to Santiago de Chile. Ambassador of a race, one blood, and values. And there, in Santiago de Chile, won the truck again, this time to a Basque, Pedro Arregui.
and from Chile to Bolivia, always on foot, always with a fork, linking Navarrese lands, noting that Necochea was founded by Navarre, and the nation Bolivia was forged by another Navarre, and he, rochapeano, was also making history in that continent.
began his return to Iguazú, and there he fell in love with the beauty of that environment. They took up permanent residence in a house made from colored tin plates, dedicating years to teach in the area and tell their stories of travels and wanderer, and he died fifteen years later. It was June 9, 1964.
died in the land he left to call you insane, died in that land he understood his philosophy of life he summarized it well: "no one can remove such of owning my own destiny, "and died in a land, reddish, it was a thousand times for this Quijote tread of a wheel.
A monument reminds today in Santa Cruz, Patagonia, a foundation bearing his name Basque in Argentina, a public square named after him in Puerto Iguazu, and a thousand details of gratitude to him is dotted along thousands of miles from the southern cone.
Serve this story to honor this Pamplona, to remind, to know its history, to bow to his exploits and to his philosophy of life, and to proclaim the values \u200b\u200bthat guided their steps today must be more present than ever. Ended with the title of Roberto Arizmendi documentary dedicated to William Larregui in Argentina: Basque Gora! . SILENCED
