Cerro Rico, meaning "Rich Mountain," is a legendary silver mountain in Bolivia that has been mined for over 450 years. Millions of Indigenous laborers and enslaved workers are believed to have died under brutal conditions, earning it the nickname "the mountain that eats men." Deep inside the mines, workers leave offerings of cigarettes, alcohol, and coca leaves to El Tío, a horned underground spirit believed to rule the tunnels. While miners are often devout Christians on the surface, many also honor El Tío below ground, asking for protection, rich mineral deposits, and safe passage through one of the world's most dangerous mining environments.
