Why pilgrims come
Discover what makes Sanctuary and Basilica of Our Lady of Andacollo a place of pilgrimage
One of Chile’s oldest Marian pilgrimage centers, where the historic image, basilica and older church are joined by organized sacred-dance communities and mining-region devotion. Accounts of an earlier found image belong to local tradition; the living feasts and Catholic custody are the documented foundation.

Editorial standard
This page records the site’s tradition as “Catholic.” That wording describes the nature of the claim and keeps devotional tradition distinct from independently verified history.
