Bolivia: Potosi, Uyuni, Sucre & La Paz
Manage episode 429606208 series 2949922
In this episode, Laura takes you along on what might be her most bizarre adventure yet through a working mine in Potosi, Bolivia. This is a gritty story about a rough place with a terrible history. Past a smoking shrine to the local god, Tio, down down down into perforated rock with nothing but coca leaves and 192 proof alcohol to quell her fears, a lot happens inside this mountain. You'll also learn about places to travel within the country as you explore the incredible landscapes of Bolivia, including the Salar de Uyuni salt flats, Lake Titicaca and the cultural centers of Sucre and La Paz.
