Potosi Mines Tour (Private services)

Description

Private services

We will start the tours by visiting the mining market, where the guide will provide an explanation of all the material that is used within the Mines such as: dynamite, coca, alcohol, etc. Tourists can voluntarily purchase coca leaves and homemade cigarettes to give as gifts to workers inside the mine. Later, we go to an environment where the tourist will dress with all the safety equipment.

We are now heading to one of the mine openings that are still exploited under similar conditions at the time of the colony. You will also participate in the customs, traditions and superstitions of the miners such as the image of the “TIO” who is credited with owning the silver.

Note: The activity includes helmet, jacket, pants, boots, lamp.
