Arguedas shot himself in the head on November 29, 1969 in his office at the Agrarian University in La Molina, leaving behind very specific instructions for his funeral, a diary depicting his depression, and a final unfinished manuscript, El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo (The Fox From Up Above and the Fox From Down Below).
He worked on Los perros hambrientos (Hungry dogs) and Yawar Fiesta (Blood Feast), based on the novel by José María Arguedas and both directed by Luis Figueroa, as well as Chuquiago (Golden Valley) made in Bolivia by Antonio Eguino.
