Description
View of the once important tin mining centre of Milluni near La Paz in Bolivia. The mine was finally abandoned in the 1990s after world tin prices crashed dramatically during the 1980s; with the rise in mineral prices in the last few years it has been partially reopened by a mining cooperative. The mountain in the background is Huayna Potosi (6088m / 19,975ft), a popular peak with climbers.
