Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Grube Carmen,
Tin-bismuth mine which worked veins hosted in dark slates. Bolivia's largest mass of native bismuth (1.3 tons!) was mined out here, and glacial erosion of this deposit probably was the source of the well-known bismuth nuggets from the gold placers of the Vilaque river.
