Satipo

"Adios, satipo ."

- Indiana Jones

Satipo was a Peruvian guide, who in 1936, along with Barranca and several porters, helped guide Indiana Jones to the Hovito Idol cave. He and Barranca frequently hung out at Machete Landing in between expeditions.

He and Jones were the only members of the expedition to reach and enter the cave. After a fearful encounter with spiders, Satipo followed Jones in swinging across a pit on Indy's bullwhip. After Jones acquired the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol, the greedy Satipo betrayed him, stole the idol and left Jones to die. However, Jones chased after Satipo and when he finally reached him, he discovered that Satipo had been killed by a spike trap which protruded from a wall. Jones recovered the idol from his dead guide and continued to escape from the cave.

Behind the scenes
Satipo was played by Alfred Molina in the first big film role of his career.

Satipo appears in the game LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, in which he actually manages to escape from the temple along with Indy, only to then betray him when it is revealed he was working for Belloq all along.
