Silver Mining in Bolivia
Explore the famous silver mines of Potosi with Breaking Borders. Historians estimate that nearly 8 million men have died since the 16th century working in the Cerro Rico mines of Potosi. The mines were so important and rich that the Spanish were able to bankroll their empire with the silver found in this exact mine. The silver was then taken by llama train to the Pacific coast, shipped north to Panama City and then across the atlantic to Spain.
