Origin of the name POTOSI: This word is a Quecuma word of Inca origin meaning "outstanding wealth".

CERRO DE LA ENCANTADA (Peak of the Enchanted Woman) is now used officially by the DPS as the name for the highest point in Baja California. This name is used on all Mexican maps and supercedes EL PICACHO DEL DIABLO (strictly a Sierra Club colloquialism) and LA PROVIDENCIA.
