 |
|
The highest city in South America, Bolivia’s Potosi will exhaust you after just a few blocks of walking. At nearly 14,000 feet above sea level, no wonder. Oddly, no one knows how the name Potosi developed; linguistically it is difficult to trace. It was colonized as a mining town, due to an abundance of silver in the region. You might not have heard of Potosi, but in the 1600s it was one of the largest, wealthiest cities on earth.
