Description
Golden sunlight bathes the hillsides above the mining settlement of Milluni in the foothills of the Cordillera Real range in Bolivia on a stormy afternoon. Milluni (which lies at around 4500m / 14,760ft and is not far from La Paz) used to be an important tin mining centre. The mine was abandoned in the 1990s after world tin prices crashed in the mid 1980s; with the rise in mineral prices since some of the mines in the area have been partially reopened by a cooperative.
