Overview
Step into the heart of the mountain! With over 15 years of experience, Turismo Claudia invites you to explore the Cerro Rico of Potosí—not as a tourist park, but as a living, breathing, and dangerous working mine.
What you will experience on this intense journey:
• Real Mining Life: Venture into the tunnels and witness the incredible strength of the miners. Discover the ancient traditions, including the ritual of "El Tío," the guardian of the underworld.
• Adrenaline & Awareness: Stay alert as you navigate narrow passages. You will need to move quickly to avoid moving mine carts that never stop!
• Professional Safety: Trust in our expert guides who monitor active explosions, noxious gases, and miner schedules to ensure the safest path possible through this extreme environment.
• Authentic Perspective: Learn the heavy history of the mountain that changed the world’s economy and continues to shape the lives of thousands today.
Important Note: This is a high-risk adventure. By joining us, you declare that you enter of your own free will and accept the risks of an active mine. Súmate to the most raw and honest experience in Bolivia!
