Biographical details

She and her two sisters fled Mompós after the battle of Chimá (1815?) to escape persecution by the royalists. They sought exile up the slopes of the Cauca valley. One of the sisters (either Juana or Jacinta, it is not specified) died at Zaragoza in the harsh conditions, the survivors then continued on foot through the mountains, almost barefoot. They crossed the river Magdalena and reached Guaduas and returned to Ciudad Valerosa in 1820. (Monsalve, 109)
