Where did the name La Calamuchita come from?
Calamuchita come from the Indigenous words, "Ctalamochita" or "Talamochita", linking two voices and a suffix. "Ctala" and "Mochi" which mean "Tala" and "Molle" respectively, and "Ita", which expresses "Abundance". "Calamuchita" indicates an abundance of feelings and molles.
Calamuchita is one of the 26 departments of the province of Córdoba, Argentina, located in the center - west, primarily in the mountainous area. The name of this department has been taken from the largest river not only in the region but also in the province, and which the aborigines called Ctalamochita, according to the first Spaniards who transcribed into Castilian at that time, the sounds with which the natives defined this watercourse.
The choice of its name is due to the fact that one of its owners was born in the department of Calamuchita, province of Córdoba - Argentina. He found many similarities between the Otún River basin, with his homeland, in addition to falling in love with the landscape. The cultural coffee grower of Colombia, wanted to pay homage to his terroir by naming his house “La Calamuchita”.
