http://www.ciberutem.cl/Directores/LIMITES-CHILE_BOLIVIA.pdf (at the
bottom of the document):
"En la actualidad la frontera Chile-Bolivia, desde el Hito V,
Trifinio Bolivia-Chile-Perú al Sur Río Caño, hasta el Hito 1-LXXXV,
Cerro Zapaleri, trifinio Chile-Bolivia-Argentina , se encuentra
demarcada por 146 Hitos de Hierro y uno de Hormigón (Hito V), en una
extensión territorial aproximada de frontera de 850 kilómetros."
(=BOCL is marked by 146 iron markers, and one concrete one, which
happens to be BOCLPE)
