Discovering the ancient Mayan ruins boosted the morale of the team. Although the relics could not confirm anything, they significantly increased the possibility of finding the mining mountain.
Their goal was a very secluded valley deep in the river valley. According to their analysis, the valley had the advantage of utilizing the river for transportation and enough flat ground for a large number of people to camp.
It should be noted that mining in ancient times required a lot of manpower and resources, so the location of mining must take into account personnel accommodation and material transportation issues.
Now, they were only a little over 3km away from the target valley in a straight line, but considering the complex road conditions, they thought it might take a full day to cover that distance.
