He is the only map that a general takes to direct the movements of his campaign. A Baquiano finds a path that meets the way he is following, he knows the remote stream this path leads to. If he find a thousand paths, he knows all of them. He knows the hidden ford of a river. In the deepest night, in the middle of the woods or in the endless plain...

As always: The Baqueano is a life insurance!
