Travelling in South America #5: Potosí Silver Mines - Bolivia

Hey guys,

I wanna share some of my trip to Potosí - Bolivia.
We visited the Silver Mines there. This is how it works: you buy a package with a bus ticket, some miner clothes and some dynamite. Yes, dynamite! They explode your dynamite in a field to show how it's done, pretty crazy.
We made a video about it:

After that, we go into the mine and I'll tell you that one of the worst jobs ever, pretty bad air to breath over there. Lower life expectancy for the workers.

There is a statue that they spill a drink (that is almost pure alcohol) on a daily ritual. They spill it on statue's penis but I don't really understood why. The expedition guide spoke it so fast.

Hope you like it!
