Description
Star trails above the glaciers of Mt Huayna Potosi (6088m / 19,975ft), some tombs of the abandoned cemetery at Milluni near La Paz are in the foreground. Huayna Potosi is one of the most popular climbs in Bolivia and by mountaineering standards a relatively non technical 6000m peak. It is part of the Cordillera Real range and easily reached from the capital La Paz. Milluni used to be an important tin mining centre, the mine was abandoned in the 1990s but has been partially reopened by a cooperative in the last few years due to a rise in mineral prices.
