About Basúchil
Basúchil (Bajichi), "water well" in the Raramuri language, is a town in the municipality of Guerrero, State of Chihuahua, Mexico. It was founded in 1649 as a presidio to protect the Jesuit mission in the Tarahumara Papigochi region a few miles to the west. Basúchil was initially named La Villa de Aguilar by its founder, Diego Guajardo Fajardo, governor of the New Vizcaya, after his home town, Aguilar de la Frontera, Spain. In 1652 the town was destroyed and its inhabitants killed by an attack incited by the Tarahumara leader Teporaca.
