Acheral is a settlement in Tucumán Province in the Monteros Department in northern Argentina in proximity to the Pre-Cordilleras of the Andes. It is accessed from the provincial capital city by Ruta Nacional 38 to the south.

It is a rural community with 7,000 inhabitants.^[1]

History[edit]

On 30 May 1974 the Ramón Rosa Jiménez Company of the People's Revolutionary Army successfully "invaded" the village of Acheral and raised the first ERP flag.^[2][3]

On 10 October 1975, a skirmish between ERP guerrillas and the Argentine Army took place in Arroyo San Gabriel, 2 km north of Acheral. Army Aviation helicopters strafed the guerrillas' hideout and used their air-to-surface rockets to set it on fire, resulting in the deaths of one soldier and 13 guerrillas. One army helicopter was damaged during the incident.
