The tour begins at the iconic National Mint of Bolivia, a grand structure that once minted coins for the Spanish Empire. As you admire its imposing façade, your guide will share stories of how this mint became the most important in the Americas during the colonial period. Next, stroll through the historic streets, passing by notable landmarks such as the San Lorenzo de Carangas Church and the Church of Saint Bernard, both fine examples of colonial architecture. These buildings, constructed during Potosi’s golden age, are testaments to the city’s once-great wealth and influence. As you walk along streets once trodden by conquistadors and viceroys, you’ll feel the weight of history in every step, gaining insight into the daily lives of those who lived in this prosperous city centuries ago.
