As continuos learners, We have studied the legends and stories of the indigenous people of the Andean region, and we have come across a fascinating tale, which we cannot prove nor deny, about a warrior named Güache Zoque. According to the legend, Güache Zoque was born on a cold, misty night in the heart of the paramos. His parents were farmers who lived in a small village near the "Laguna las Garzas". They knew from the moment of his birth that their son was destined for greatness.
Güache Zoque grew up in the shadow of the frailejones, the tall, majestic plants that dotted the landscape of the paramos. These plants were not only beautiful, but they also played a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of the ecosystem. Güache Zoque learned from his parents and elders that the frailejones were like the guardians of the paramos, protecting the water sources, regulating the temperature, and providing shelter and food for the animals that lived there.
As Güache Zoque grew older, he felt a deep sense of responsibility to protect the paramos and the frailejones. He trained hard to become a warrior, honing his skills in archery, hand-to-hand combat, and survival. He knew that his life's purpose was to guard the paramos, and he would stop at nothing to fulfill it. Güache Zoque became a legendary warrior, feared by his enemies and respected by his people. He fought many battles to defend the paramos from those who would harm it, including loggers, miners, and poachers. He always carried with him a small bag of frailejones seeds, which he would scatter wherever he went, ensuring that the plants would continue to thrive and protect the paramos for generations to come.
As the years passed, Güache Zoque never aged. Some say that he made a pact with the frailejones and the spirits of the paramos, who granted him eternal life as a reward for his service. Others say that his love for the paramos was so strong that it gave him the power to live forever. Whatever the reason, Güache Zoque continues to roam the paramos to this day, protecting it from harm and inspiring others to do the same.
