We camped for a night outside of Tupiza near the Canon del Inca. We didn’t know much about the area before we arrived, other than it was near to here that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed. Until we read about this, I had always assumed they were largely fictionalized characters. But no, they were real, and they are generally believed to have died in a gunfight with the Bolivian army in San Vicente in 1908, close to Tupiza, while planning to rob the payroll for a rich mine in the area.
