- n. In Bolivia, a mud-flow or mud-slide. Such slides occur frequently in the gorges around La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, during the rainy season, and are very dangerous for inexperienced travelers. The mud, however, soon hardens and forms a deep and sterile crust. Portions of the once fertile gorge of the La Paz river have been completely ruined by mud-flows which, in places, attained a thickness of ten to twenty feet.
Wiktionary
