The Battle of Estero Rojas took place on September 24, 1867, when a Brazilian convoy, coming from Tuiuti to Tuju-Cuê, was attacked by Paraguayan troops under the command of the Vallois Rivarola.
To a lesser extent, Brazilian forces, under the general command of General Albino de Carvalho, were saved by the arrival of General Visconde's forces from Porto Alegre, who repelled the Paraguayans.[1]
