Cerro Rico: Navigating Potosi’s Dark Mining Tunnel Realities

4.4 (26)

Don't visit this mountain for the views; visit for the brutal history of Potosi’s silver extraction. Book a tour with an ex-miner who actually knows the tunnels. Bring coca leaves for the miners and prepare for tight, dusty shafts that make you feel every bit of that 4,000m altitude. Skip the cheap tours that treat the workspace like a theme park. It is a haunting, claustrophobic reality check that lingers long after you surface.
