Khari Khari
Khari Khari is a mountain peak in the Andes located near Potosí, Bolivia. Reaching an elevation of 5,040 meters, it is the highest point in the Kari Kari range and the second-highest in the Potosí mountain range. Travelers visit this site primarily for high-altitude trekking and mountaineering.
