Potosi Private City Tour
When you arrange your private tour of Potosi, various options await you. Each option includes convenient hotel pickup and a return transfer.
Potosi Tour (4-5 hours)
This journey will introduce you to significant landmarks such as the church of San Francisco, the Society of Jesus tower, and the cathedral of Potosi, the central religious edifice in the locality. Strolling along historic colonial avenues like Sucre and Nogales, we will arrive at the 10 de Noviembre square, a site honoring the Revolution of 1810.
You’ll gain insight into the daily lives of Potosi's residents while visiting the Central Square and a variety of other noteworthy sites. To conclude the tour, an additional 1 hour and 30 minutes is allocated for a visit to one of the city’s museums, allowing you to choose between the Mint or the Santa Teresa Museum.
Potosi Mines Tour (2-3 hours)
Did you know that Potosi was once home to the largest silver mines in the globe during the 16th and 17th centuries? This prosperity made it one of the wealthiest cities in South America. The city even receives a mention from Miguel de Cervantes in his renowned work Don Quixote de la Mancha.
The phrase "worth more than a potosi" actually stems from the immense wealth acquired through the mines of Cerro Rico. Join us as we explore a mine where we will gain knowledge about the local mining traditions and the practices of the miners.
Potosi Mysteries and Legends Tour (2 hours)
We will begin at the 10 de Noviembre square and traverse through the enchanting mysteries and legends that have lingered in the colonial streets of Potosi over the years.
During this nocturnal exploration, tales of tormented souls, demons, witches, concealed treasures, and miraculous events will unfold before us. We will then walk along Pulmonia street to the haunting crypts of the cathedral of Potosi.
