Departure from La Paz, you will travel through the colonial cities of Bolivia. Sucre, a provincial capital and very scenic colonial city that has preserved most of its 16th-century buildings, and Potosi, with its exceptionally rich colonial heritage, a former imperial city during the reign of Charles V. You can visit a still-operating mine at Cerro Rico, Maria del Carmen. Every Sunday, the indigenous market of Tarabuco is held. The locals sometimes play the charango there, and you will come across indigenous women in very colourful costumes, with their many skirts and bowler hats. The men’s hat is reminiscent of the conquistador helmet.
