The Highest Elevated City

churches, Spanish architecture that allow visitors to experience the city and the surrounding Andes mountains in an excellent
stop on your luxury tour in Bolivia.
Discover Potosi
CULTURE
The city is a blend of its Spanish colonial past, and the largely indigenous Aymara inhabitants. While the architecture and common language of Potosi are Spanish - everything from the traditions, local dialects, festivals, food, and more are largely Aymara, making Potosi the perfect place for those looking to learn more about Aymara traditions, first-hand. The Aymara language is still the major language in the Bolivian Andes and in southeastern Peru. In rural areas, one finds that the Aymara language is predominant. In the cities and towns, the Aymara are bilingual, speaking both Spanish and Aymara.
HISTORY
History buffs will be drawn to learn about Potosí’s complicated history and the pivotal role that it played during Spanish rule. A plethora of experiences from visiting churches and museums to visiting the mines themselves where workers were forced into slavery illuminate the tumultuous history of the city and how it is engrained in the everyday lives of its inhabitants. It's an intricate part of Bolivian culture that cannot be missed on your visit to Potosi.
NATURE
Though Potosi itself doesn’t have a wealth of natural attractions, there are many hiking trails that afford visitors incredible views of the Andes, including the (optional) hike to Cerro Rico, a three-hour ascension with mountainous views that also gives an insight into what workers had to do on a daily basis to get to the mines. Additionally, visitors can also experience Potosi’s hot springs, or Laguna Tarapaya, which the Incas believed to have healing powers. Relaxing in the hot springs is the perfect complement to an active day visiting Potosi or, restoring your health just as the Incas did.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Step back in history at Cerro Rico As the biggest industrial complex of the Spanish colonial empire, the historical importance of Cerro Rico is difficult to overstate. Some 60,000 tonnes of silver were extracted from the mountain during Spanish rule which involved the work of more than 6 million indigenous and African slaves, most of whom perished at the mines. Witness miners stop at an ore refinery plant before heading deep into the mines to give tourists an insight into their daily work. Of particular interest is a visit to El Tio, a devil-like effigy that provides the miners with protection in exchange for offerings such as coca leaves and alcohol.
