During the 1970s, Pedro and Graciela envisioned a future together on their farmland. 

Graciela, an avid guitar enthusiast, made a heartfelt decision. 

She wanted to immortalize her favorite instrument by transforming their patch of land into a guitar-shaped forest. 

Their shared dream, however, was shattered when Graciela tragically passed away in 1977 at the age of 25 due to a cerebral aneurysm while pregnant with their fifth child.
