Description
Cerro Rico Mine Guided Tour Itinerary You will be picked up in the historic center of the city. Before arriving at Cerro Rico, you will make a brief stop at the Mining Market, the most attractive in the area. You will have free time to buy dynamite, alcohol and coca leaves as gifts for the miners you will visit inside the mine. The mines visited are located at the base of the historic Cerro Rico de Potosi. Inside, you will be able to appreciate the work system of the miners, which has not undergone major changes after such a long time of exploitation. Walking through the different galleries and interior levels of the mines, visitors can see some of the places where the miners built statues representing their gods, such as El Tio de la Mina (the devil). They can also see the mineral veins, which are a set of rocks and chemical formations of minerals, chimneys, as well as have an experiential time with the miners and observe the different working methods they use every day.Includes
