The body of Granaderos was transferred in the Matías Cosuiño steamer in 1880, disembarking in the port of Pisagua. He was assigned exploration as an outpost in the towns of Tiliviche, Tana and Sica holding brief skirmishes with remnants of the Bolivian Army. He was assigned to Jazpampa where he was assigned reconnaissance tasks. The Army of Granaderos was then transferred to the Peruvian district of Pacocha, placing itself under the command of General Manuel Baquedano, who was preparing the Tacna and Arica campaign.
