An excursion to the historic Trespuntas mines in Atacama, Chile. The Tres Puntas (Ag) mines were the second most important silver mines in Atacama. Between 1848 and 1907, thousands of miners worked in various mines such as "Fin Hallada", "Colorada", "Salvadora" and Buena Esperanza. There are records of the social life at that time in this remote area. Paul Treutler, Rudolfo Philippi and Recaredo Tornero recorded their observations in drawings and texts.
