L'un des «trésors» les plus «hauts» du globe: celui découvert à 6.050 mètres d'altitude, au sommet du volcan Pili, dans les Andes du Chili. Un éventail de plumes rouges, des cordelettes tressées, une ceinture tissée, des fragments de tunique multicolore, des tupus (fibules) et un bracelet de cuivre oxydé, une idole d'argent, furent trouvés près du cratère éteint. Ces offrandes rappellent le culte des volcans d'où se disaient issues de vieilles ethnies, encore pratiqué au moment de la Conquête espagnole. (Museo de San Pedro de Atacama, Chili.)
