Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

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.
