Imperial riches once made Potosí the world’s largest city; today its haunting mines and lavish stonework offer a raw, unfiltered glimpse into colonial boom-and-bust history—set against stark Andean skies.

Hard-hat selfies, rooftop sunsets, and budget beds under $12 make Potosí a gritty backpacker rite-of-passage. Voyista links it smoothly between Uyuni and Sucre legs.
