History:
Probably the Incas knew Tres Puntas by its location near the Inca Trail
and some ancient work and ruins.
1792 Fermin Guerra probably finds mineralization but dies quickly. The
year 1848 is the official date of the discovery of Tres Puntas. During
the following years, a considerable amount of silver is mined from the narrow
veins.
Timeline of Tres Puntas
Location:
Tres Puntas is located between "Chimbero" and
Inca de Oro. The district
extends from the Buena Esperanza
mine to "Al Fin Hallada".
Perhaps there is a discussion of two districts: Chimbero and Tres Puntas, possibly under Tres Puntas..
Today bordering the Inca de Oro mining sector (Au).
There are some old roads in good condition. Unfortunately, many nails and other objects are found in the streets, puncturing the car tires.
Also, there is a vast amount of
vinchucas throughout the sector
Tres Puntas is located between "Chimbero" and Inca de Oro. The district extends from the Buena Esperanza mine to "Al Fin Hallada."
