Next stop was portosi where the silver mines that the Spaniards wanted so much to conquer and did. It was this main mine that bought so much wealth to both Bolivia and spain . We did a tour of their old minting branch which was pretty damn interesting. It was still in use until the mid 20 th century, some of those that made the coins used to throw some of them out the window so those in the streets could have some money. After Portosi we were off to Sucre , which was our guides home town.
