A group of people playing soccer in a mining area located at the foot of the Cerro Rico of Potosi, Bolivia. 25 January 2016. The city of Potosi was one of the richest cities in the world during the Tin boom however today may be one of the poorest in America. Photo taken during a climb to the Cerro Rico. The customs and beliefs of Andean people are a hybrid of catholic religion and old beliefs. One of its highest expressions is within the Bolivian mining culture that worships the Pacha Mama (Mother Earth), the Celestial Divinity personified in the Catholic God and "El Tio" of the mine (Satan). To the latter, who rules the underworld, they make offerings with sacrifices of llamas inside the mines to ask for protection in the depths of the mountain and abundant mineral.
