# Potosi, Bolivia - View from the Cerro de Potosi

What an excellent mountain! Check out the city (top photo) from this great height! I'm really tired so i'm going to plagiarise the shit out of Wikipedia and tell you a little bit about the history of this mountain: "the Cerro de Potosí—sometimes referred to as the Cerro Rico ("rich mountain")—a mountain popularly conceived of as being "made of" silver ore, which has always dominated the city. The Cerro Rico is the reason for Potosí's historical importance, since it was the major supply of silver for Spain during the period of the New World Spanish Empire. This silver was taken by llama and mule train to the Spanish Main from where it was then taken to Spain on the Spanish treasure fleets. Cerro Rico's peak is 4,824 metres (15,827 ft) above sea level." all i can say is, so much earthy desert.. hnnnngggg..

# Potosi, Bolivia

Potosi is the capital of Bolivia and one of the highest cities in the world! It sits at a phenomenal 4,090 metres above sea level and is home to an ever looming mountain, Cerro Rico. Although it's renowned for it's mountain and the whole "heighest capital city" thing (more on that soon), i love the look of the streets. They're so empty and yet at the same time so full of character. I especially love the last photograph with Cerro Rico visible in the background, it reminds me of florence and being able to see the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral down every street and side alley!
