The Jesuit Tunnels of Córdoba

The account

The crown expelled the Jesuits and expected their treasuries; the ledgers came up strangely light across South America. In Córdoba the tunnels are not legend, you can walk sections of them under the old block. What went into the unwalked sections, before the doors were bricked, is the question the pampas still asks.

Leads, where the trail points now

• Where the trail goes cold: When the order of expulsion came, the Jesuits of Córdoba had weeks of warning, and the tunnels under their manzana, real and mapped in part, swallowed what the inventories never listed. That is where any serious search begins.
• What you are chasing is Mission wealth hidden before the expulsion. Work the documented record of The Jesuit Tunnels of Córdoba back to primary sources and separate what is attested from folklore before you commit time or money.
• Confirm who owns and governs Córdoba, Argentina and get written permission before any search; treat protected or archaeological ground as off limits.
