Potosi. A very high-altitude city that once made Bolivia the richest city in the world through the mining of silver. The "old town" has many interesting corners.
Potosí (Quechua P'utuqsi: noise) is a city in south-central Bolivia. It is the capital of the department of Potosí of the same name and has almost 175,000 inhabitants. It lies at the foot of the Cerro Rico mountain (Rich Mountain), whose silver wealth made Potosí one of the largest cities in the world in the early 17th century and on whose silver and tin deposits the city is still dependent today.
