| Summary: | In the most remote places in the interior of the province of Antofagasta, the ancient customs and traditions of the Atacameños have been preserved until recent times. The persistence of these traditions became known in 1949 during a visit to the oasis Peine and Dr. Greta Mostny. In May 1957 I had the opportunity to be a visiting researcher at the University of Chile. I spent two weeks in the town of Socaire, accompanied by two assistants from the Center for Anthropological Studies, Messrs. A. Medina and G. Minuzaga, in order to broaden the investigation. Socaire is located to the east of the Salar de Atacama, at an altitude of 3,500 meters. above sea level. |
