Pari Urqu, Mountain summit in Potosí, Bolivia

Pari Urqu is a 3,950-meter mountain standing west of Potosí city, forming part of the Andean range in Tomás Frías Province. A 33-meter observation tower with a rotating restaurant at the summit provides panoramic views across the city and surrounding landscape.

The name combines the Aymara word 'pari' meaning red-hot with the Quechua word 'urqu' meaning mountain, reflecting the indigenous languages of the region. This naming reflects how different cultural groups shaped the area over time.

The name Pari Urqu comes from Aymara pari, "red hot", and Quechua urqu, "mountain", so it is often rendered as "hot mountain"; Spanish sources also write it Pari Orcko or Pary Orcko. The peak stands in Potosí Municipality, Tomás Frías Province, west of the city and northwest of the higher Cerro Rico.

The ascent to the summit is manageable for most visitors, though the terrain is steep and requires good endurance. Warm clothing is important as temperatures at this elevation are significantly cooler than in the city below.

The 33-metre tower on the summit, inaugurated in 2004, holds a revolving restaurant giving a 360-degree view of Potosí. In 2013 a tourist cable car linking Pari Urqu with Cerro Rico was proposed, with funding from the Bolivian government; it was never built.
