TOUR DESCRIPTION
HALF DAY ACTIVITIES
Let’s begin the adventure through Potosí, the Silver City, with its narrow streets and balconies, a classic colonial sight from a time when conquistadors from another continent arrived to be amazed of the amounts of minerals found in these lands. Visit “La Casa de la Moneda”, an old silver factory now turned into a museum full of machines and history. Going forward, we pass by the main cathedral, visiting the Torre de la Compañia de Jesús, a Jesuitical baroque tower, among many other buildings of the era. Before we call it a day, enjoy the San Francisco church’s balcony, a view point from which you can understand this iconic city and of course, the imposing Cerro Rico de Potosi, from which conquistadores were sure they could have built a silver and gold bridge between Bolivia and Spain.
