It depends on who you ask, but per The Guinness Book of World Records, it's Wenquan, which is in the Qinghai region of China (5,019m/16,467ft). But, National Geographic says it's La Rinconada, in the Puno region of Peru (5,100m/16,728ft). Population on Wenquan is difficult to determine...most sources don't specify a number because it's too small, but one source lists it at "under 1000". La Rinconada is listed at 50,000.
