Punta De Vacas, meaning "cows point", is a hamlet in Mendoza Province, Argentina between Mendoza and Puente del Inca, not far from the border with Chile.
The city was once served by the now disused Transandine Railway which ran from Mendoza in Argentina to Los Andes in Chile.
According to the INDEC census of 2001, Punta de Vacas has a population of 47 inhabitants.
In spite of its small size and reduced population, this location has gained worldwide popularity due to being the site of one of Silo's first public speeches, "The Healing of Suffering" (see Mario Rodríguez Cobos), on May 4, 1969.
