Sightseeing Tour to Potosi from Sucre |
|
|
Travel back to the days of Spanish conquistadors and silver mines in the colonial city of Potosi.
| Overview | |
|
No visit to Bolivia can be complete without a visit to the famous ‘silver city’ of Potosi. Situated at the base of the ‘rich hill’ (Cerro Rico), Potosi is also the highest city in the world at 4090 meters. This full-day tour of Potosi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will take you back to the days of Spanish conquistadors and silver mines. The city is characterized by its baroque architecture, its profusion of churches, monasteries and temples, palaces and mansions that adorn the narrow and paved streets. Many of the cooperate mines are functional and silver is still extracted from the Cerro Rico. Casa Real de La Moneda (Royal Mint) is Potosi’s star attractions and one of South America’s finest museums. The first coins in the Americas as well as the famous silver coins for the Spanish crown were minted here.
