Interesting Chilean story Jeff. But lacking in details. I know the area. there are copper mines to the north near Calama the track winds south east into the Devils canyon which leads to Atacama. It would be the logical trail to follow as it follows for most of the way through the water courses.

Here are some pictures of the Devils canyon.

Below is the church you pass by before you enter the Devils canyon from Calama heading to Atacama



There little side caves leading off the canyon.



The long winding canyon followed the river providing water for travelers.



In around early 19th century it would of been an prime ambush area for bandits. But alas did Don Rafael "Gavino" Berrios actually exist?

There is a cool Inca ruin nearby





If you look into the center of the picture the stream leads you to devils canyon. This picture is looking from the Inca ruin that is mile or so from Tacena below.

True But I've Walked about 8 Mile Carrying all my Detecting Equipment,
Detected a Bit in Between, & only a Mile or so from my car, Was convinced I was going to need to,
Rest for a Few Hours to make that last Stretch.
First think that would go were, my Lower Leg Muscles in the back would Tighten
just below the knees, making walking
excruciating .

Heck I've been across the 2 lane street From my Car & Never thought I'd Make it across,
in time Without getting hit by a Car, & The road was Deserted Just too Damn Far

So Yes. I Can imagine Hiding it Because it was Just too Far. as one of the reasons
