Since children our elders have taught us to respect and care for nature, we know that is not an inexhaustible resource, the life will depend on our actions, however small, all things have a history and deserve to be told.

The Pink Lapacho is a tree of my country Argentina, is a hardy tree, come to grow up to 30 meters high, is sturdy, hardwood, not rot, as my correntinas sisters, tough, solid, incorruptible Women, these features They make them an indigenous tree of the place. The Guarani him, called in different ways, Tajy, Tupã Tenondete stick cross, scoundrel stick, martin gil, stick barometer, Ratay bull.

Wood highly sought after by carpenters, for its hardness and strength, ideal for sleepers, columns, doors, windows, all Madrera that will be exposed to the weather, the artisans looking to create their crafts, the sculptor, for his sculpture, wood true, noble, highly sought after, as che cuera people.

It is Tabebuia families, there are of all colors according to their place of origin.

Lapacho grows by little, in no hurry to develop, as correntinas guainas, are enjoying the cycles of life, it makes a tough, hard wood to face the storms of mother nature, takes to flourish, just seven years gives its first flowers, the flowers indicate that icy cold already passed, a sign they expect my relatives, to begin planting vegetables.

In September lapacho is like a child about to reach maturity, color and emanates joy, enthusiasm gives my city, beautifying the streets of my waterfront, in the company of a radiant sun, the cool breeze of Parana.

My ancestors Guarani, revered, respected, taught from generation to generation nurtured and protected, built their houses on them, never hurt her, treating her like a child.

The God of the Guarani Tupã Tenondete, needed to expand his reign, he called his older sons, conveyed his concern, he instructed that they had to go their separate ways, this would extend the monarchy.

Before their games I call their children Tupi and Guarani and you said they will colonize and spread our beliefs, when they give the place chosen and nod their community, signaled the place with trees of different colors, these trees the call tajy, which means in the conquered lands Guarani language.

At the time of his games he gave some seeds and told them, planted these seeds I promise to be big trees, soft skin, docile, spineless, intense colors, with its woods, build their houses, canoes, arrows and utensils kitchen.

The brothers took Guarani were planting seeds and tree seeds in each conquered people. The Guarani Indians were the colonizers of America, this is the explanation lapacho color of each country.
