Mining Town. This river is one of the most polluted rivers in Peru. Once upon a time, it was the main source of clean water in La Oroya. Now people do not care about it anymore and throw their trash in it all the time. When I took the picture you could see people's hands in some of the windows ready to litter. La Oroya, Peru
