#9 – La Rinconada, Peru
via sometimesinteresting.files.wordpress.com complain
The city is located in the Andes at an elevation of about 5100 m above the sea. This is the highest town on the planet. People began to move to this extreme terrain because of deposits of gold ore there. The city sewer system and floor drain system are poorly developed, while the population of La Rinconada continues to grow steadily. In 2009 the city's population was about 30 thousand people.
