How to place them

West to east, Nevado Sajama to Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos, Bolivia's 10 places cover 710 km. Three of them sit within 90 km of each other in the north-west: Illampu, Janq'u Uma and Tiwanaku.

Salar de Uyuni, Illampu and Santa Cruz de la Sierra are rated hard, and six of the 10 are at that level. Potosí and Tiwanaku are the easy ones. Any pin within 120 km of Salar de Uyuni scores 5,000; that is the widest radius in the set. El Fuerte de Samaipata is a giant carved sandstone rock, the largest petroglyph in the world.
