Potosi
About 240 thousand people.
Potosi is one of the highest cities in the world, sitting at the foot of a silver mountain that made it very rich long ago. Its old streets and churches are full of history.
Admire the grand old mint building where coins were made, wander the historic center, and gaze up at the famous Cerro Rico mountain.
