The Altiplano plateau is located in the southwestern part of Bolivia and is inhabited by predominantly Indian people - the Quechua and Aymara. Against the backdrop of the stunning natural beauty of the inhospitable region, they lead a rough life that combines the Spanish influence of the Catholic faith with traditional pagan customs. This is beautifully illustrated by the Carnival of La Diablada, which is a unique show of Native American costumes in the name of the veneration of the Virgin of Socavonia. The area is sparsely populated, but Potosí was once one of the most populous cities in the world. Silver was mined under the Cerro Rico mountain. There has been no such demand for it for a long time, but the method of mining has changed little since the Middle Ages and children are still going underground. However, this does not prevent them from engaging in popular water battles. At the largest salt lake in the world, there is an architectural uniqueness - a hotel built of salt bricks and equipped with salt furniture.
