. Cerro do Inhacurutum is a 304.15 meters high hill as measured from sea level; and 176.20 meters high from a local GPS measurement; latitude: 28° 01′ 50″, longitude: 55° 03′ 06″. The name ''Inhacurutum'' is of Guarani language origin. The hill is located in the municipality of Roque Gonzales, in the northwest of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. == Historical reference == Guarani Indian chief, cacique Nheçu (Note: spelled ''Ñezú'' in Spanish; with alternative graphic representations of this name both in Spanish and in Portuguese) commanded resistance to the first European colonizing incursions in what is today's southernmost state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul from this place; especially because of the privileged natural visual advantage that it offers. Traditionally most historians have treated the events regarding this aspect of the colonization of the region as a separate chapter of the history of Rio Grande do Sul, however this is changing. From this centrally located operations' base cacique Nheçu supposedly ordered the assassination of Jesuit priests Roque González de Santa Cruz, Afonso Rodrigues, and Juan del Castillo in 1628 when they were killed. Today these three Jesuits are considered martyrs by the Catholic Church and are venerated throughout the region as such. == Sorrounding area == Small farm holdings characterize the surrounding area, with emphasis on soybeans, corn, wheat, cassava; raising cattle, pigs, chickens and other domesticated animals are also seen in the region neighboring the Inhacurutum hill. The international river port of Porto Xavier is also located not far away in the same area (officially the ''Porto Internacional de Porto Xavier'', in Portuguese; and ''Puerto Internacional de la Barca San Javier'', in Spanish). == Tourism == There is some tourism development in the area with guided tours to the hilltop when prearranged locally. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cerro do Inhacurutum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
