The highest city in the world at 4,070 metres above sea level, and built on the profits of the silver mine which has been running since 1545. A Unesco world heritage site made up of numerous colonial buildings and churches, which sadly mask the reality of the place ... over 8 million people have been killed in the mine. Strolling around the unique architecture it´s difficult to imagine what lies beyond.
A comfortable hotel (another 4) and keeping in with the luxury I went to Potosi´s finest restaurant with couple of Aussie guys called Daniel & Steve. Both are really nice and on their first trip outside of their homeland so I spent most of the evening passing on tips from my previous travels. Great conversations and the best Llama steak in town. Throw in scallops for a starter, washed down with the local beer and all for less than 4 quid a head.
