At elevation, it is one of the highest cities in the world, and the highest or the second highest city with over 50,000 inhabitants, with elevation reaching up to 4,380 m in the Yanacancha area. It is connected by road and by rail to the capital Lima, as far as 300 km. == Mining center ==
It became one of the world's richest silver producing areas after silver was discovered there in the early 17th century. It is still an active mining center. Gray Brechin notes that the mines of Cerro de Pasco were a chief source of wealth for William Randolph Hearst and his family.〔Brechin, "Imperial San Francisco", 1999, University of California Press〕
