Potosi, Venezuela

Potosí was a Venezuelan town in the western state of Táchira. The town was deliberately flooded by the Venezuelan government in 1985 to build a hydroelectric dam. In 2010, the town was uncovered for the first time since its flooding due to a drought caused by the weather phenomenon El Niño.

It took our hope away."〔 Garcia relocated to a region not far from her former home and other former residents moved throughout Venezuela.〔 The houses and the colonial church were abandoned and the waters of the Uribante Reservoir, once covering ,〔 submerged the town with the exception of the steeple of its church.〔〔 The steeple is feet tall and was once used as the high-water mark for the reservoir.〔〔
