Potosi Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We hebben een druk programma gehad de laatste week. 3 dagen in een 4wheel drive en ongeveer 20 uur in de bus gezeten. Maar het was allemaal heel erg de moeite waard. Nederland is momenteel heel ver weg en ik heb echt het gevoel op een andere plek van de wereld te zitten. De mensen zijn 3 koppen kleiner, arm en zo vriendelijk. Streetfood voor E0....

Young Graham is of down the mines at 9, I'm off to the Mint (money) Museum.
It is warm and sunny so I have some time in the square.
A school band with some barrow type floats was parading round the square adding to the traffic mayhem.
The square has a crossroads at each corner, with only one of them really feeding out. At each junction ...

Potosi is a high altitude mining town where they mine silver and zinc in very primitive conditions. We did a mine tour which certainly lived up to its reputation as a confronting and disturbing experience.

Over 3 hours, we went 300m in and 40m down a working mine. It was a physically taxing tour due to the conditions of the mine – ...

Lundi 11 mai 2009 Après le petit déjeuner j'ai proposé à ma compagne de chambre canadienne de mettre tous les sacs dans ma chambre pour ne pas payer la consigne des bus car ils s'en vont tous ce soir pour la paz et moi je reste à Potosi ! Voilà je suis sympa n est ce pas ! En tout cas ils ont bien apprécié. Puis après avoir accompagné les garçon...

Well as soon as we arrived in Potosi we found the first hostel in sight and hit our dusty pillows to sleep of the hang over and on awakening the owner of the hostel who had somehow converted into a women was suddenly demanding more money and being a total cow. We said we would pay what we agreed and decided to leave and head to another hostel mo...

Potosi was ooit de grootste stad ter wereld. Groter dan Parijs, Londen of Madrid. En dit kwam allemaal omdat het naast Potosi de grootste zilverberg uit die tijd lag (ik heb eigenlijk geen idee of er tegenwoordig in andere bergen meer zilver is gevonden). Tegenwoordig is Potosi in ieder geval de hoogste stad van zijn groote ter wereld. Wat ook e...

Hola buddies! Oh Potosi Potosi, all this way for Potosi... Why? I think this city is actually only famous for the silver mines (which I didnt see).That and the fact that it IS the highest city in the world and I have never noticed the altitude more than when I came back to my room and Leah was on the phone to her boyf. I thought I would give her...

Dan - Stilll a bit behind, this happened on the 12th of Jan! Next stop in Bolivia was Potosí. Officially the highest city in the world at four thousand and >mumble mumble> feet high! The main reason for going though was because we´d read about the silver mines there and wanted to check them out for ourselves. The silver is now pretty much ...

We took a bus from Sucre to Potosi, a few hours away. On the way we were provided a fantastic light show, being so high up we could see huge thunder and lightning storms happening miles and miles away. It was amazing. On the road we would also find many dogs, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, there is a huge amount of them in the cities too bu...
