Pari Urqu, Mountain summit in Potosí, Bolivia
The 3,950-meter mountain stands prominently to the west of Potosí city, forming part of the Andean range in Tomás Frías Province.
The name combines Aymara word 'pari' meaning red-hot and Quechua word 'urqu' meaning mountain, reflecting the indigenous languages of the region.
The mountain holds significance in local traditions as one of several sacred peaks that surround the historical mining city of Potosí.
A 33-meter observation tower at the summit contains a rotating restaurant offering panoramic views of Potosí and the surrounding Andean landscape.
In 2013, officials proposed a cable car system to connect Pari Urqu with Cerro Rico, aiming to enhance tourism infrastructure between the two mountains.
