Potosí Travel Forum

What kinds of things are there to do in Potosi? I was planning on stopping here on the way to La Paz from Uyuni but I don't know much about it other than it was once a silver capital of the world. Is it worth stopping at if I'm short on time, or should I go straight to La Paz? Thank you so much for any help

Matt, Potosi is definitely worth seeing. I wish I had had more time there. I have information on Potosi under Bolivia but I have separate travel pages on Potosi too. I also recommend reading Richiecdisc's and Marcelo15's tips. If you want a great guide there, use Roberto Mendez (see my general tips under Bolivia or Potosi).

yeah, potosi is really worth visiting. i had the great change to visit ther last year and i fell in love with potosi. you know that i`m bolivian. don`t u?
je,je...well, i highly recommend to do the tour of the mines. is really worth and the same time sad. also, visit the money house. there are plenty of great things to see. if you have time you can get to laguna tarapaya (hot springs). the cemetery, where you can eat a deliciuos soup (caraporko)... well, i really wish you a great time there...
chau

Look at my page to see about the mine tour.

Worth a visit without a doubt
