# 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!

# San Salvador de Jujuy N.W. Argentina

Jesus Christ, if there is one thing i love it's a good looking desert. These photos display some of the best landscape i have ever laid eyes on. Do you need any more information? Are you not enticed already?

# Iguazu Falls, Argentina/Brazil

OK. So, i'm a little embarrassed to admit that i'd never actually heard about these waterfalls until i saw these photos, because they are incredible! Basically, the Iguazu River, which is mostly in Brazil, has this ENORMOUS split separating the river into two halves. According to (the ever reliable) Wikipedia, "the waterfall system consists of 275 falls along 2.7km of the Iguazu River. Some of the individual falls are up to 82 metres in height." Iguazu is often compared with Southern Africa's Victoria Falls. Iguazu is wider, but because it is split into about 275 discrete falls and large islands, Victoria is the largest curtain of water in the world and is much better known than the Iguazu Falls. But don't be misguided!! The Iguazu Falls have better views and walkways so you can see it a lot better than Victoria Falls. There is even a point where you can stand and be surrounded by 260 degrees of waterfalls! SOLD.

# Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires. Argentina's capital, also known as the "Paris of South America" and after looking through the rest of the photos taken in this city, i can see why; the architecture is astoundingly European. Anyway, here's two of mum's friends on a bus. I don't know why i like this photo, i just do. so, ha. Below that, a couple dance the tango in the neighbourhood of La Boca. The colours are wicked!
