Potosi Silver Mine Tour | Inside Cerro Rico, The Mountain That Eats Men

I'm not much for commenting but you are doing real things, things that most of us don't know about, really interesting, and a great video x

A heavy first video you guys, but so powerful. Thanks for telling this story. I'm really looking forward to what tales are coming in your next videos! Keep it up! Also lolz the doorbell sound for his dingaling, nice editing.

So sad - thank you for sharing guys, a very unbalanced world we live in hey?! Great launch of your new channel, I love how you are sharing what is real 😊

Random fact, the Spanish also enslaved British sailors to work in Bolivian silver mines. The man that inspired Robinson Crueso, Alexander Selkirk, was marooned on an island for 4 years. At the 2 year point a Spanish ship landed and Selkirk hid rather than be taken by the Spanish knowing what his fate would be.

It does throw up a wider point on mining, including the rare metals that enable our modern tech lives, the batteries and phones that we rely on.

Really good video, thank you for making it.

Doing a study of Juana Azurduy de Padilla and came across your video because I was reading more information about Cerro Rico of Potosí. Juana and her rebels defended that mountain and took it away from the Spanish for a time. To actually see the mountain and what is has become today was fascinating. But even from this short video I had a feeling of discomfort. Pretty sure I could never enter that mine. Thank you for doing so and for all of the interesting information. Definitely going to do more research. And follow your channel!

beautiful video. I went there when I was young about 6 years old or so. had a slightly haunted experience at the hotel with the whole family who felt it. do you guys think the bad energy you felt could have been a result of the millions of souls within those caverns? Perhaps at your hotel too as you mention your weird dreams. Lots of sadness occurred in that city that's for sure. Would be nice if Spain gave reparations. Anyhow, tons of respect for your work, I could never summon the courage to go in like that.

it was depressing and scary at the same time

Gracias 👍
