  Half-day active mine tour in Potosí

  4.4· 13 reviewsFrom ₹3,829

  A half-day tour of Cerro Potosí — explore an active mine and learn about local mining history and culture.

  “The trip unfortunately did not occur due to a mix-up with local providers in Potosi. We were guided by KOALA TOURS, who took us on an incredible journey but made an error by including us in their tour. When they requested payment, we explained that we had already paid and expected reimbursement from INTI TRAVEL. They refused, which I found quite disappointing. The local cost was 260 BOB for two, while Viator charged us 442 BOB, so they aren’t incurring a loss. This money will be deducted from the local guides' salaries, which is unfortunate. I urge Viator to reconsider this situation and reimburse Koala Travel for their service. Until then, I will avoid using them in the future. Please review this case and take the right action. You can reach me on WhatsApp at +44 7412643359 for more information.”— JerseyJoe53 on the Half-day active mine tour in Potosí tour

  Three hours exploring Potosí’s Rich Hill mines — see traditional mining practices, mineral veins, and statues of cave deities amid a rich heritage.

  “This experience is truly unique, although it may not be suitable for anyone with claustrophobia. Engaging with the miners and hearing their personal stories highlights their working conditions, leaving a powerful emotional impression. It far surpasses simply watching a documentary. Be prepared for tight tunnels, where you'll occasionally need to crouch or sit.”— isabelrf2019 on the Half-day tour of the Potosí mines tour
