The Chacaltaya ski resort opened in the 1930s, according to Atlas Obscura.
In its prime, Chacaltaya earned #Bolivia numerous titles. It was the country's only ski resort, as well as the world's highest ski resort and restaurant, according to Atlas Obscura.
According to Atlas Obscura, Chacaltaya attracted middle- and upper-class residents of La Paz, which is a major city an hour and a half from the resort.
In the 20th century, the resort was open almost year-round with plenty of snow for skiers to enjoy.
Taboclaon told Insider that during her 2015 visit, her tour bus dropped her off at the base of the mountain, where the abandoned ski resort stands today.
Taboclaon said visitors could step inside the resort. The only thing left inside is a toilet, she said.
Taboclaon said she expected a fun day. But after learning about the resort's past, she felt reflective and sentimental. She added that seeing the abandoned destination made the #ClimateCrisis feel very real to her.
