  • 5. Cerro Rico Potosi
    Cerro Rico , Cerro Potosí or Sumaq Urqu is a mountain in the Andes near the Bolivian city of Potosí. Cerro Rico, which is popularly conceived of as being made of silver ore, was famous for providing vast quantities of silver for Spain during the period of the New World Spanish Empire. It is estimated that eighty-five percent of the silver produced in the central Andes during this time came from Cerro Rico.

This eventually led to a slow economic decline. At the start of the 20th century, liberal reforms and an increase in government policies favoring foreign investment l...

Today the largest vessel is most likely the similarly sized train barge/float Manco Capac, operated by PeruRail. Numerous smaller bodies of water around the world are at higher elevations.Other cultures that lived on Lake Titicaca prior to the arrival of the Incas. In...
