Fiz o tour no Cerro Rico de Potosí entrando em uma mina em atividade! Algumas passagens são baixas, há lama, movimentação de cargas e trabalhadores. Conseguimos até ouvir umas explosões ao longe. É uma aventura de verdade! Eu gostei, mas não recomendo para crianças pequenas ou pessoas com dificuldade de locomoção.

This is the "rich mountain" as it was known and named by the Spaniards during the conquistadors era. The mountain used to be rich in silver and other minerals, which made the town of Potosi the richest city in the world in the 16th - 17th century. The Spaniards established their National Mint and the town was overwhelmed by people who came to work in the mines. Nowadays, Potosi after centuries of extraction, Cerro Rico still supplies Bolivia with minerals, not of the same value and worth as silver, but still useful enough to keep the local economy going. Potosi is now one of the poorest cities in Bolivia. UNESCO has listed both Potosi and Cerro Rico in its list of endangered sites, due to the uncontrolled mining operations. The local miners continue their indigenous worship of El Tio, the God of the mines and the underworld, the absolute lord of the mine galleries. They build statues of him and they make offerings of cigarettes, alcohol and coca leaves. There are some tour guides that organise visits to the local mineral refineries and mines. The experience is mind blowing and very genuine. There are no safety measures and people are working without any kind of modern equipment. They use the basic tools that were used centuries ago and the average life expectancy of a miner is...

Establecida en 1545, Potosí es la ciudad más alta del mundo a aproximadamente 13400 pies. Se convirtió en una de las ciudades más ricas y pobladas del mundo por un tiempo gracias a la enorme cantidad de plata extraída de la cercana montaña Cerro Rico.

En Potosí, las dos cosas más interesantes son las minas de Cerro Rico y la Casa de la Moneda, la antigua casa de moneda real.

Cerro Rico. Desde las profundidades de esta increíble montaña, se han extraído enormes cantidades de plata desde 1545. Esta montaña atrajo a muchos conquistadores españoles. Actualmente, el estaño es que se extrae ya que los depósitos de plata se han agotado en su mayoría después de casi 500 años de minería continua. Se puede hacer una visita guiada a las minas donde innumerables trabajadores perdieron (y siguen perdiendo) sus vidas extrayendo plata y estaño de las venas de la montaña.

La Casa de la Moneda es un museo muy interesante. Fue aquí que los españoles convirtieron la mayor parte de la plata en monedas de plata impresas antes de enviar cargamentos de ellos a España. El resto de la ciudad también es muy antiguo y...

En las minas cooperativas es donde se comprueba la intensidad de fe y esperanza del trabajador minero que transita por los oscuros socavones pensando siempre en su protección, anhelando su suerte sin haberse olvidado de sus seculares tradiciones mineras, que han originado una extraña mística de religión y paganismo.#seguidores #Chaquí #salardeuyuni #salardeuyunibolivia #mineros #Potosi #Bolivia #Potosí #uyunitour #silvermine #minero #mine #mineworker #cerrorico #silver #adventure #exciting #bolivia #ig_bolivia #experiencebolivia #discoversouthamerica #visitasuramerica #traveling #bolivia #viaje #travel #cerro #mina #minero #mineros. #mine #tradiciones #diablo #devil #tio #historia #history #historias #leyendas #stories #foto #fotografia #photo...
