The legend of Chiru Chiru, originating in 1780 in Oruro, tells the story of a man, initially considered a beggar, who robbed rich people, distributing the loot among the poor. Wounded during a robbery, he sought refuge in his den, where he cried out for help from the Virgin of Socavón until his death. The discovery of her body, next to the image of the Virgin, led to the creation of the sanctuary of the patron saint of Oruro and an annual festival, marking the entrance to the Oruro Carnival.
