Hola Amigos... “Potosí! Potosí! Salimos a las una” the lady shouted... We hopped on board for a four hour bus ride to Potosí, the highest city in the world (allegedly) and a Unesco World Heritage Site. At 4070 metres above sea level, we huffed and puffed as we explored the lovely (and hilly) streets of this famous city. Little did we know that this city is not only famous for its elevatio...

Potosi Mint
I first heard about the Potosi Mint when researching silver coins that had been recovered from the wreck of the Spanish ship Nuestra Senora de Atocha.

La Paz
Don't think my aging lungs could handle the altitude. I was wheezing atop the Jungfrau years ago after riding the train to the top and that was about 12,000 ft. Always guard your chocolate from petty thieves.
