We Almost Didn't Film This Vlog...... Cerro Rico, Potosi, Bolivia

First comment yea boi

Serious underground mining with another 6 levels below where you were! WOW! Great vlog & Happy New Year to you both 👏❤️

Many years ago dad and I made this trip. When it really was operating at its peak. Great Video guys.👍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki

The Potosí mines may be tough, but the miners are tougher. Can't deny it, their spirit shines brighter than any silver in the Potosi mines. Quite an interesting place when my travel dart lands soon in this city of Bolivia.

AWESOME!!!

That was insanely cool.

That soup looked ridiculously hot with the bubbling!

God bless the two of you. Your beautiful the two of you and I love you videos. And I dont watch anybodies videos. You are so cute together always!!!!

In Bolivia where there are few options for stable employment, people have little choice but to risk their health & lives in the mountain where 100's of thousands of people have died. In the best case scenario to make a humble living.

Giving a juice box or some crisps to people there doesn't undo the reality that the people of Bolivia (live with the legacy of and) continue to be exploited for their resources by wealthier nations and corporations in the global north - which maintains the poverty that the beautiful people of Potosi continue to experience.

Hello, I just wanted to clarify that the name of the Soup is KALA-PHURKA, they are two words in Aymara, since before the 19th century this language was widely spoken in Potosi, along with Qechua and Spanish, but little was lost.
KALA = Rock, stone PHURKA = boil, boiling.
In Quechua K'ALA is indeed Naked, but it is a confusion of the Guide, since the pronunciation is different.
Greetings from Potosí

It's nice to know that now miners allow women into a working mine. Before, it was a big deal because miners believed women were bad luck. My class wasn't allowed to visit a working mine for this reason.

This looks like a good, authentic tour. Do you mind sharing who you hired for this? I am planning my Bolivia trip right now, and gathering resources. Your video popped up :)
