To the highest City in the world
A taxi picked us up at 9.15 to take us to the bus station for our 3 hour journey to Potosi. The bus station was possibly the most chaotic we have come across, with one side given over to collectivos (local unscheduled minibuses) and the other to long distance coaches. We eventually found the right place to present our tickets and handed over our …
Potosi - City and Silver Mines
We checked in to the Hotel and walked round the city centre.

Cerro Rico kaevandus töötab siiamaani ning …
Silver Mine Tour
... other type of gas.
Almost straight away we started meeting miners hard at work. Our guide, having previously worked alongside them, had a great rapport and they were happy to stay and chat for a few minutes, taking a few sips of juice, before returning to work.
We then continued further into the mine with even lower tunnels. This part was very dusty and combined with the altitude of 4,200m it was hard to breath at times. You would have no business here ...
