A wayside shrine dedicated to the Difunta Correa Route 40 south of Zapala Neuquén Argentina

The Deceased (Deolinda) Correa (in Spanish La Difunta Correa) is a semi-pagan mythical figure in folk-religion. Their devotees, cattle keepers in the past, truckers at present, leave bottles of water as votive offerings, "to calm her eternal thirst". http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Difunta_Correa
