The scene opens on the crystalline, mirror-like surface of a high-altitude Andean lagoon, nestled 4,000 meters above sea level. In the foreground, a flock of Andean flamingos (Phoenicoparrus andinus) moves with rhythmic grace, their pale pink plumage and black-tipped wings contrasting against the deep turquoise of the mineral-rich water. Behind them, the jagged, snow-dusted peaks of the Cordillera Blanca pierce a cloudless, cobalt sky.

Years later, a monk found that cross and built a chapel on the spot, beginning the legend of La Tirana, Chile’s most iconic desert sanctuary.
