A unique experience - The tours were interesting, although we could not see live and direct the work of the miners. As a Bolivian I was surprised by the situation and conditions of the mimas (very precarious) gives the impression that there is no interest of the national administration but even when the guide told us the current age of life of the miners... well in matters of experience from the point of view of tourist is very interesting, you live and direct highly recommended. Better if you take the one involving the adventure of descent through the galleries.

Interesting tour - Visited the mine with Johnny as a guide. Was interesting to be the reality how the miners should work hard for low pay

Nice tour of the historic area - I don't know if for the schedule, but the entrances to the sites mentioned in the tour, were not fulfilled, only a tour was given through the entrance yards of some places, and the entrance to the tower of the company was paid by me (I think it was included), of the guide Sonia, I have nothing to say, very friendly and explains extensively during the tour
