At 8 am, we'll meet in front of the Casa de la Moneda and set off on our day trip to some of the most iconic places surrounding the Villa Imperial de Potosí.
On the way we'll make a stop to visit the Devil's Cave, a local natural attraction. Afterwards we'll head to the historic Hacienda Cayara, which dates back to 1557. It was also the first hacienda built in Bolivia.
