San Antonio de Los Cobres

The environment here is quite hostile for man. The height is synonymous with low atmospheric pressure, and therefore less oxygen in the air. However, the attraction of The Coppers than compensates for altitude sickness, or altitude sickness as it is called in the area. The village is filled with the splendor of legend and mineral wealth. This is a unique place where indigenous physiognomy traps with simple architecture, and visitors are just amazed by the surrounding landscape. In August there are celebrations for the Pachamama, a female god, who is the god of producing, blessing and engendering and lives in the bowels of the earth.
