Acheral is a settlement in Tucumán Province in the Monteros Department in northern Argentina in proximity to the Pre-Cordilleras of the Andes. It is accessed from the provincial capital city by Ruta Nacional 38 to the south.

History
On 30 May 1974 the Ramón Rosa Jiménez Company of the People's Revolutionary Army successfully invaded the village of Acheral and raised the first ERP flag.[2][3]
On 10 October 1975, a battle between ERP guerrillas and the Argentine Army took place in Arroyo San Gabriel, 2 km north of Acheral. Helicopters strafed the guerrilla's hideout and used their air-to-surface missiles to set it on fire, resulting in the deaths of one soldier and 13 guerrillas. One army helicopter was damaged during the incident.
