In the lore of Latin American indigenous ancestors, the final and warmest thermal floor held a sacred tribute to the sun, revered as a deity. To them, gold symbolized the sun's radiant power, its allure attracting colonizers driven by wealth and conquest. As the Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez aptly stated, Gold was the strength of the conquest and the origin of what we are (García Márquez, 1994)
