From Nevado Sajama across to Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos is 710 km, and the other places here sit between the two. In the north-west, Janq'u Uma and Tiwanaku are both within 90 km of Illampu.
Of the ten photos, six are rated hard. The hard ones include Salar de Uyuni, Illampu and Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The easy ones are Potosí and Tiwanaku. The widest circle belongs to Salar de Uyuni: 120 km, so getting the area right is enough for full points. El Fuerte de Samaipata is a giant carved sandstone rock, the largest petroglyph in the world.
The daily in the app mixes photos from all 167 countries in the game, five a day, the same five for everyone.
