It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Horacio Quiroga .org, for people who share a passion for Quiroga and an enduring desire to understand and appreciate one of the greatest storyteller of the Spanish language.

Horacio Quiroga .org was officially established following a commemorative celebration of Quiroga’s birthday on December, 2011. Its roots, however, pass through a number of previous organizations, reaching back more than ten years earlier. It has grown into a nonprofit cultural organization dedicated to increasing the enjoyment, understanding, and appreciation of Horacio Quiroga’s works through performance, commentary, and educational activities. In addition, we continue to respond to as many inquires relating to Quiroga’s life and works as our resources permit. In a typical year, Horacio Quiroga .org receives dozens of letters from around the world, particularly from school children seeking general guidance for reports and other projects. Beginning in 2016, however, our primary means of providing information about Quiroga shifted to this website, which allows us to reach a far greater audience that any other means at our disposal. Horacio Quiroga .org is a legally established non-profit organization, incorporated in the department of Montevideo. We have no paid employees, relying purely on voluntary efforts.
