Copiapó

The six animals together only cost the value of twenty-five pounds sterling, and at Copiapó I sold them again for twenty-three.

I was at Copiapó at the time; and there the people, with equal envy, talked of the abundant rain at Guasco.

After spending one day at Ballenar I set out, on the 10th, for the upper part of the valley of Copiapó.

We returned down the valley, and on the 22nd reached the town of Copiapó.
