The chipchas was a South American tribe. This tribe saw fall a great object of the sky. According to bill the legend, this object "bit" the mountain forming a small lake or creek that he/she filled with water. The legend also relates that this object filled the earth of gold. This object well could have been a meteorite, but the chipchas they ignored this fact, they attributed all that happened to its gods and they decided to surrender tribute to this fact with a ceremony that was carried out once a year.

To the ceremony it attended the whole town. First, the cacique was sprinkled with gold. Once place setting all their body of gold, the cacique took a bath in that lake formed by the fallen object. The whole town carried out songs and dances while the priests tossed to the lake chinas, jewels and all type of objects of gold.

This ceremony was carried out approximately among the XIV and XV centuries during about a hundred years. Experts in this field of the archaeology have carried out some calculations until determining that I lower the waters of that lake they are some 50000 pieces of gold; with that which is comprehensible that this lake, the true Gilding, have arrived to the mind of the European conquerors as a city.

This lake is located and in fact they have been carried out numerous intents of taking out the gold that rests in its channel, but the mire of the bottom hides that whole treasure. The most important expedition was carried out in 1965 taking advantage of the drought of that year, but they were only able to locate some 500 pieces, it calculates that he/she doesn't approach neither to the fourth part of what hides there. There is not anything official regarding curses on that that comes closer, but seeing the so numerous intents in vain one could think that there there is something that doesn't want that they snatch him/her their treasure.

Be like be, the archaeologists, as much the officials as the "no-official" ones continue in their intents of arriving until the bottom of the legend of The Gilding.
