On April 2, 1582 Ancuancu (in present-day La Paz Department, Bolivia) was struck by an earthquake, that reportedly buried all of the inhabitants except for one chief who reportedly lost the ability to speak.[1][2] On the place where the village had stood, the Jacha Kalla (Achocalla) valley was formed as a result of the earthquake.[3]
