This looks like a good, authentic tour. Do you mind sharing who you hired for this? I am planning my Bolivia trip right now, and gathering resources. Your video popped up :)
You were both very Brave going down those mines 😮 bit too claustrophobic for me . Wow that soup looked like a lava bubble 🫣 . Great video Hope both had a lovely new year celebration. 🍾🎉🥰Looking forward to all your new adventures this year Take care .
The Potosí mines may be tough, but the miners are tougher. Can't deny it, their spirit shines brighter than any silver in the Potosi mines. Quite an interesting place when my travel dart lands soon in this city of Bolivia.
hola, es la sopa tradicional de la Región/ciudad y que la temperatura promedio es de 5' C. con vientos en invierno y una altitud de 4350 en sus barrios mas altos, casi como el Cerro Rico mismo, es llamada la ciudad mas fría de Bolivia, con justa razón. Entonces es lógico que esa sea su sopa traficional
It was pretty intimidating for a lot of the group! The masks did an OK job for the time we were in there but you'd want something much better to stay longer for sure!
Hello, I just wanted to clarify that the name of the Soup is KALA-PHURKA, they are two words in Aymara, since before the 19th century this language was widely spoken in Potosi, along with Qechua and Spanish, but little was lost. KALA = Rock, stone PHURKA = boil, boiling. In Quechua K'ALA is indeed Naked, but it is a confusion of the Guide, since the pronunciation is different. Greetings from Potosí
It's nice to know that now miners allow women into a working mine. Before, it was a big deal because miners believed women were bad luck. My class wasn't allowed to visit a working mine for this reason.
In Bolivia where there are few options for stable employment, people have little choice but to risk their health & lives in the mountain where 100's of thousands of people have died. In the best case scenario to make a humble living. Giving a juice box or some crisps to people there doesn't undo the reality that the people of Bolivia (live with the legacy of and) continue to be exploited for their resources by wealthier nations and corporations in the global north - which maintains the poverty that the beautiful people of Potosi continue to experience.
That was insanely cool.
Thanks! Pretty crazy experience
Many years ago dad and I made this trip. When it really was operating at its peak. Great Video guys.👍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki
We can only imagine how hectic it was at that point then! It felt busy as it was!
This mining tour is very educational & eye-opener!
Thanks Dane & Stacey! 😎
No probs, glad you enjoyed!

VERY claustrophobic down there, some in our group were worried about that and it was tight! Wish we could send ya a bowl of the hot stone soup to try
Serious underground mining with another 6 levels below where you were! WOW! Great vlog & Happy New Year to you both 👏❤️
How mad is that? 6 levels BELOW 🙀

The miners are definitely tough, legends working hard in there!
