| An ancient Inca site at Tiwanaku, Bolivia, indicates the sowing of over 2,000 varieties of potato. The Aymara-speaking people once ruled the region around lake Titicaca, northwest of Cerro Rico. The 650-square-foot Akapana pyramid at Tiwanaku was entirely man-made. (Hem., Dec. '95, p.24)(NH, 11/96, p.37)(Arch, 1/05, p.10) Bolivia has 9 departments under elected provincial governors. These and their capitals include Chuquisaca (Sucre); Cochabamba (Cochabamba); El Beni (Trinidad); La Paz (La Paz); Oruro (Oruro); Pando (Cobija); Potosi (Potosi); Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz de la Sierra) and Tarija (Tarija).
