El Tio

Deep inside the mines of Cerro Rico are hundreds of statues of the Devil in the shape of a goat. The Catholics of Potosí know him as El Tío (The Uncle), lord of the underworld. According to their traditions, he rules over the mines, simultaneously offering protection and destruction. Miners leave offerings for El Tío—tobacco, liquor, coca leaves—in hopes that he will spare their lives.
