Chorolque, also known as Cerro Chorolque, is an extinct volcano in the Potosí Department of southern Bolivia. The Santa Bárbara settlement is located at a height of 4800 m on the side of the mountain. thumb|left|The mining town of Santa Bárbara
==Mining== Mining has led to drastic changes in the slope on all sides of the mountain. Miners have constructed a road up to 5000 m of the mountain. The village of Santa Bárbara, with its 5000 inhabitants, is the highest village in Bolivia, and is located on the western slope of the mountain. The mines are the highest tin and bismuth mines in the world. Mining in the mountain began with the arrival of Western investors in 1889.
