Neunter Tag: Sucre to Potosí (April 19, 2019)

Today the air has gradually become thinner. We are at an altitude of almost 4,000 meters. This did not stop us from entering the Cerro Rico mine, past asbestos blooms and deep holes in sometimes low tunnels. We bring something to the (non-working on Good Friday) mine workers or leave it in the mine: for example, dynamite and high-proof schnapps (actually pure alcohol, because after all, the mineral extracted should also be high-proof). Afterwards we observe processions on Good Friday. A full day.
