Very nice and accessible place, about 15 minutes of climbing by foot from the main road. Bathing in the natural pool and camping are prohibited now because of safety incidents, but there's a warm stream that feeds a large but a little colder pool and is very nice for bathing. There is no entrance fee, but also not much care taken of the place so make sure not to leave any trash!

It could be a nice place if it was maintained properly. But it is just dirty and there is rubbish all over. It is not allowed to go swimming. The couple living there allows to stay there for 10 minutes and after that they shout at you to leave that place. No signs no nothing. Tourists are definitely not welcome here.

Not recommended. There is a old lady yelling and trying to get as much money from you as she can. There is a big signs DO NOT ENTER in front of the lake.

We arrived out and there was a lady saying that entry is prohibited because of accidents in the past. There is also barbed wire and a sign saying no entry.

I would advise you not to go here We got a taxi out to Tarapaya There isn’t a single sign or any indication of how to get up to it We had to ask a few different people if there was a way to get to it Eventually we found it, after being there for 3 minutes a woman came over and started yelling at us telling us we couldn’t swim in the water but also demanding money from us Me and my friend speak broken Spanish and we said we didn’t know you couldn’t swim and we wouldn’t get in the water, the woman was still quite frantic so we decided to leave and she kept following us looking for money eventually had to give her some to get her to leave us alone Not the day we expected, and no swimming for us Scenery was beautiful though so there’s a plus

The place is ok. But mind the lady who keeps the place! She starts to scream at you at the benniging,than she turn to be nice.....but than she ask for money!!! Pretending 10Bs or more!! Not nice at all!!! And it's not legal .....

(Translated by Google) An impressive place. You can go by bus from The Old Terminal for 5bs and they will drop you off on the road. You cross the bridge and see some stairs (in the photo). You start to climb and follow the white stones, in about 15 minutes you reach the lagoon. There is a warning not to bathe due to the whirlpools that exist and some deaths that these have caused. There are guards you can talk to and try to ask permission, but they don't always let you. If they finally let you swim on the shore, be grateful and leave a tip to the guard, it is well worth enjoying this natural landscape. If you prefer not to risk it, about 10 more minutes away there are swimming pools with thermal water and for 8bs you can bathe peacefully. Fact: depth is unknown. From 4 meters, the temperature increases to 50º and the average water temperature is 35º. The Incas already bathed here. Enjoy! (Original) Un lugar impresionante. Se puede ir en micro desde La antigua terminal por 5bs y te dejan en la carretera. Cruzas el puente y ves unas escaleras (en la foto). Empiezas a subir y a seguir las piedras blancas, en unos 15 minutos llegas a la laguna. Hay advertencia de no bañarse por los remolinos que hay y algunos fallecidos que estos han producido. Hay vigilantes con los que puedes hablar e intentar pedir permiso, pero no siempre te dejan. Si finalmente te dejan bañarte en la orilla, sé agradecido y deja una propina al vigilante, merece mucho la pena disfrutar de este paisaje natural. Si prefieres no arriesgarte, a unos 10 minutos más hay piscinas con el agua termal y por 8bs puedes bañarte tranquilamente. Dato: se desconoce la profundidad. A partir de los 4 metros, la temperatura aumenta a 50º y la temperatura media del agua es de 35º. Los incas ya se bañaban aquí. ¡Disfruta!

$3 entry fee includes guided tour in Spanish. It was just me and the guide, a charming young man who spoke slowly so I could understand more. Definitely worth going and you get a fabulous view of the square from the belfry. Entrance is from the block behind.

(Translated by Google) It's worth the visit! A tour is made with its respective historical explanation, ending at the top of the cathedral with an incredible panoramic view. Our guide was very friendly. It cost us 20 bolivianos per person. (One of the cheapest we found in Bolivia for this type of visit) (Original) Vale la pena la visita! Se hace un recorrido con su respectiva explicación historica, finalizando en lo más alto de la catedral con una increíble vista panorámica. Nuestro guía fue muy amable.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful cathedral steeped in history. The guide perfectly tells the story of this historic place in Potosí (Original) Belle cathédrale chargée d'histoire. Le guide raconte parfaitement l'histoire de ce lieu historique de Potosí

(Translated by Google) Beautiful cathedral and especially if you want a magnificent view of the city this is the place to go (Original) Belle cathedral et surtout si vous voulez une vue magnifique sur la ville c’est ici qu’il faut vous rendre

(Translated by Google) Beautiful outside and inside. Beautiful view from the tower. (Original) Belíssima por fora e por dentro. Linda vista da torre.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to visit (Original) Hermoso lugar para visitar

(Translated by Google) Superb and austere building in the center of Potosì. The building has a harmonious façade with three portals of which the largest is elegantly crafted. The two bell towers on the sides, which form a single body with the same facade, give the building a harmonious appearance. The interior is very large, bright and elegant, very sumptuous. The view is beautiful during the day but even more so in the evening with the truly evocative lighting of the facade and the two bell towers. (Original) Superba e austera costruzione nel centro di Potosì. Il fabbricato ha una facciata armoniosa con tre portali di cui il maggiore è elegantemente lavorato. I due campanili ai lati, che formano corpo unico con la stessa facciata conferiscono all'edificio un aspetto armonioso. Molto ampio, luminoso ed elegante l'interno, molto sontuoso. Bella la vista di giorno ma ancor più di sera con una illuminazione della facciata e dei due campanili davvero suggestiva..

We had a good English tour, the museum has quite a good mix of different things. Of course there is a lot related to the old mint, like the machines they used in the different points in history and a lot of old coins. There is a historic library with important, old books for Potosí. Also some minerals, paintings, religious things, etc. Overall the whole building is also nice to see. Maybe they could improve a bit by defining clear start times of the tours. Some people joined the tours 10 minutes after the start.

A quite interesting museum. My wife and I visited it in October 2025. At this time the entry was 40 BOB for foreigners. We were happy to find out that this automatically included an English-speaking guide. However, as with most museums in the country, there is no clear logic as to how the exhibits are organized. The rooms jump from religious paintings to old coins, from UNESCO-Certificates to old coin-stamping machines. Still it is definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in Potosi.

The museum is great. But the guide qasn’t really happy to be there. Also the direction of the room didn t makes sense sometimes, like not in chronological order. Appart from that it’s good to lesrn about the history of the coins.

English tour was brilliant and provided an insight into the history of Potosí and the beginning of the mint. The grounds are beautiful, you must pay extra if wanting to take photographs. Tour lasts around 1.5 hours and was 40 bolivianos per person.

Beautiful museum with lots of history about the history of silver in Potosi. I think the 20BoB extra cost for taking photos is quite steep. I came to Potosí for the mines and the museum tour, but I feel like the museum tour is quite rushed especially in the furnace rooms with actual silver history. There's also just too much talk about Catholicsm and paintings of virgin Mary, I prefer to spend more time on the actual silver tour and less on religion. All in all, it's a nice tour with beautiful artifacts and coin collections.

Interesting and well set up museum, but unfortunatelly, there were no tours in English and most of the information was only in Spanish. It means that as a foreigner you pay double what the locals pay and have to walk with the group (cannot explore on your own) and not understand anything. Not sure it is really worth the 40 BOB entrance ticket + 20 BOB for using the camea + almost 2 hours of your time.

Fantastic tour here—one of the best in the country. The guides were funny and knowledgeable and offered real insights into the life and times of Potosi’s heyday, and the exhibits inside the Mint are maintained well so that visitors can understand the conditions of the workers and the historical progression of the minting over the centuries. Certainly a tour worth taking.

This is a working monastery which houses 10 San Francisco monks. We paid for a four 20 Bolivianos each. We were informed about the monastery, the church and we also able to see the views of the city, mountain and mines from the top. There are set tours each day.

The views are spectacular! You can either do a full church tour or a tour straight to the roof. The main hall and courtyard though is not to be missed! 20bs a ticket for just the roof tour

20BoB entry fee.. amazing views highly recommended ☺️ with a small guided tour about this church ⛪️

Pretty nice view but I'd 've really like it if there was only mirador without the tour

Got there on a Saturday afternoon and it was closed seems like their hours are mostly during week and only mornings on Saturday no opening on Sunday. Sadly and disappointed as I was looking for the views.

This church has a truckload of history behind it. It is also a museum, the entrance fee is very low, and tour guides are very competent. It provides an enlightening view of life in La Paz during the Colony.

Very interesting place! I recommend the visit for the gorgeousness of the Cathedral and for the nice guided tour. It is just 30 pesos for foreigners!

This is interesting both from a historical and museum point of view. The Carmelite convent in Potosí, Bolivia, is actually the Santa Teresa Convent founded in 1685 by the Order of the Discalced Carmelites in honor of Saint Teresa of Avila. It was originally a home for Carmelite nuns, a cloistered home for young women from wealthy families, who entered at the age of 15 and lived in strict isolation, dedicating themselves to prayer, scripture, and tasks like baking and sewing. The convent was richly endowed with gifts from families, including paintings, jewellery, and furniture, which are now part of its museum collection showcasing religious art and historical items including stunning Baroque altarpieces, artworks by prominent painters and macabre relics such as self-flagellation tools.

It's an extremely sad tour. It tells the story of how the terrible catholic institution not only made enslavement happen in America but also made millions of women being nuns that had to live away from society, not talking to their own family. They even show the self torture instruments and where the nuns' bodies were buried. It takes 1 hour and a half for the whole tour and it's very slow rhythm since the guide locks and opens each of the hundreds of rooms you have to get in. For 30 bobs I believe you better do something else.

Was placed in a tour group that started 40 minutes prior, with the explanation that i could catch the beginning with the following tour. The tour guide was so dreadfully trite that simple plaques next to each item could've taken her job. No English tours were available. I left after 15 minutes.

Saint Theresa Museum and Convent is incredible. Lydia provides an awesome tour in English. Teenage girls were only accepted into the convent if their family was wealthy enough to give a dowry of paintings or other valuables worth 2,000 pieces of gold. Once the girl entered, she never left the building for her entire life and could not see or talk to an outsider. Sounds horrible, but it was an honor. Amazing stories, amazing art. Amazing rooms.

Interesting place but more as a museum of christian religious art than as a monastery. Actually very little is disclosed about the monastic lives of the nuns.

Very interesting, very well preserved. And the guide was very good at her job ! One of the highlights of the city.

2 hour tour for about 4 USD. Worth the price. Tour guide wasn't very friendly, seemed very standoffish.

People who worked at Mine are Heroes Unforgettable experience.

Life-changing experience. Don’t cheap out: hire a local guide and buy gifts for the miners who let you visit, and el tío if that’s your thing. Maybe a few scraps of bread for the dogs, too. Again, hire a guide. Spending $15-20 to visit the right way is absolutely worth it.

Very eye-opening experience to take a tour here. Astonished how miners work the same way as they did hundreds of years ago. Koala tours is recommended as they are a responsible agency.

Visiting the mines is not a joke but it's such a strong experience and I believe shouldn't be missed while in Potosi.

Fascinating place with lots of history.

This place is arguably one of the most painful and intensely violated place I’ve been: this mountain is the symbol of a century-long robbery that has been going on since the discovery of its silver, and it is the grave of thousands of people that poison themselves by working tirelessly in its dark caves chasing easy money. Its energy is one of illusion, it’s scarred face is the totem of a culture based on a very very volatile value. Go by all means and walk into a mine, you will never forget it, ever.

Iconic mountain with a dramatic history dominating the city centre. Lots of mines are still functioning these days: try to visit them with a local guide and buy some presents for the poor miners as an expression of respect, solidarity and interest

Too much noise because of the open restaurant at the 3rd floor. The ladies with radio at 6:15, before breakfast.....

Yes the place is oldish and boheme-style but I found it an excellent price-quality ratio for the 120 BOB I paid mid March for a PRIVATE room with PRIVATE shower-room. The queen bed was very comfy with enough blankets, I always had hot water (open shower so use your flip-flops), I found soap, shampoo, toilet paper and towel. Sharon was always available, gave me a hair-dryer and hot water with cup in the morning, so I had my own breakfast just in front of my room (there’s a couch with low table). She also kept my luggage for free during my trip to the salar. Nights were always quiet, location is very central on the pedestrian street. Would stay there again.

Small plaza in Uyuni. There are many restaurants and a few stores that provide tourists with a good selection of dishes to eat after spending most of the day at the Salt Flats. We enjoyed the pizza in a couple of places and some tradicional Bolivian dishes.

You can't sit or relax here, every minute someone someone will ask you for money or offer some tour around Uyuni. Don't eat in the restaurants around the plaza because they cost 3 times the original price. Take pictures and continue your travel...

Yes I would stay here again, but only if I was on a tight budget. The lady at reception was very nice. The place was clean and tidy. There are no frills here. The WiFi worked, but was about 1.5Mbs with limited room reception. The bed was comfortable, and linnins clean and appropriate for the climate. My shower was kind of warm at first, just long enough to step in and start to soap up, but turned cold fast and made for a hasty exit. Not much atmosphere for hanging out.

Basic hostel but very well situated. The rooms and toilets are clean...The hostel is in hand of a very sympathic family. Breakfast is good. It consists of 2 Bolivian breads with butter and marmalade + fried egg + fresh fruit juice + 1 or 2 cups of coffee or tee. You got the key of your room but not the main entry one's. They watch the entrance 24h....but it happens to me to find the entry closed and I had to wait 1 hour before they came back...Just sit on the nearby street banks and relax... WiFi is very good. When it rains heavyly, some drops of water falls from the roof in the lobby but the rest of the hotel and specialy the rooms are safe...

We stayed just one night there (wanted to stay to but we run away from this place). The receptionist was realu rude and lied to us few times. She agreed for early check it but the next day requested to pay for extra night. We refuse of course and she started shouting at US and saying that our english is poor so we do not understand her! She definately ruined our time there. There are hot showers and wifi. Basic breakfast.

We did the 3D/2N tour from Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama and were very happy with it. As English speakers we rolled the dice by just getting a spanish-speaking driver, hoping our (very) modest Spanish and Google translate eould get us through. Willy, our driver, was fantastic, and while I'm sure we missed some of the details we muddled through. Willy was a skilled driver, who negotiated the (at times) difficult roads with ease. I always felt safe. The hotels were unique. Tambo Coquesa a little rough around the edges (not a problem for us), Los Flamencos an outstanding location and we enjoyed the lovely cosy common area. Other logistics went well - collection from the bus station in Uyuni on time, transition of vehicle/driver at the Bolivia/Chile border and the border crossing itself.

The guides were enthusiastic and eager to showcase the beauty of the country, striving to meet our needs with diligence. They ensured smooth and safe driving for 13 hours each day.

We left the overall experience feeling somewhat frustrated, as there were a few things we didn’t end up doing, and we were left unsure as to why. For instance, we didn’t visit Sajchilla Island or the Salt Museum, which were part of the updated itinerary the agency had sent us. Regarding the original plan, we didn’t do the authentic villages of Villa Alota and Culpina K, and we didn’t stop at Valle de las Piedras – we only saw it from the car. Interestingly, we heard that another group had a picnic there, while we stopped to eat at a hostel with no view. We also didn’t visit the Train Cemetery or the Quinoa Museum, which were included in the initial itinerary. The third day was particularly odd – the program ran only from 10 am to 2 pm, and it mostly involved taking photos, which could have been done at any time. It felt like a half day that wasn’t really well used. Some details, but our waterproof boots were not the correct sizes, and on more than one occasion there was bell pepper in our meals, despite me having alerted the team about my allergy. Finally, on the post-trip questionnaire, we noticed questions about both the guide and the driver. This was confusing, as we didn’t actually have a guide. Our driver was incredibly kind, attentive, punctual, and committed – we really liked him! But we did miss having more in-depth explanations and context about the places we were visiting – something a guide could have provided. I fully understand the limitations of the region’s infrastructure. But at the end of the day, it’s about getting the experience we paid for – and unfortunately, some key elements of that were missing. They didnt answer us after our complaint

Oh yeah

Cool place to visit. Went as part of a tour through to the Salt Flats, this was a neat start. Super busy though as every other tour arrives, imagine at sunrise or sunset it’d produce stunning photography. Time it right and you can pull off some pretty epic poses though :)

We loved it here. The kids could have silent hours exploring and climbing on the trains. It gets busy at your times but we still got to see and explore everywhere. Close enough to Uyuni town to go without a tour.

The Train Cemetery in Uyuni, Bolivia, is an interesting place to visit. The old trains are rusty and give the area a mysterious feeling. It’s not very big, but it’s fun to walk around and take pictures. You can see a bit of history and enjoy the quiet desert around. It’s a nice stop if you’re already visiting the Uyuni Salt Flats.

This attraction is exactly what it says - a graveyard for old rusting train wrecks. It's interesting enough because of the different types of trains and the shapes and patterns on them. It also has no admission fee. It was, however, completely overrun with people climbing all over them in search of the perfect Instashot. It may be quieter in the afternoon once all the tour vans depart for the Solar. There is also a small seperate area showcasing transformer type sculptures, which is interesting in its own right. There are a handful of vendors and a paid bathroom, which is handy.

Imagine Mad Max and Thomas the Tank Engine had a really weird breakup. That’s the Train Graveyard in Uyuni. Located just 3 km outside town, this post-apocalyptic playground of rusted locomotives is the final resting place of Bolivia’s railway dreams… and Instagram’s gritty best friend. Historical stat break: - Trains date back to the late 1800s, imported from Britain during Bolivia’s short-lived railway boom. - The dream? Connect Uyuni to the Pacific. - The reality? Mining collapse in the 1940s left these metal beasts to rot in the salt and wind. - Altitude: 3,656 m above sea level - Entry fee: Free, because nothing says “abandoned dream” like open access. The site stretches across a vast salt-flat edge, where iron giants lie dismembered, tattooed with graffiti, and slowly dissolving into dust. Some carriages are welded into makeshift jungle gyms. Health and safety? Never heard of her. Tour groups roll in daily, snapping “edgy” photos on top of train roofs while dodging tetanus. Meanwhile, local kids treat it like a desert skate park. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ +1 for post-industrial vibes +1 for raw, surreal scenery –1 if you hate sand, rust, or the smell of historical abandonment +1 if you’re into ghost towns, steampunk dreams, or locomotives that gave up

Not really my thing, go there if you really like old trains, it was windy and there were a lot of sands in the air I really liked the recycling work in the form of transformers , was a great art to see

Whilst it is absolutely worth a visit, there is very little information about the type of locomotives or engines. I believe most of them were British made. It is must see feature in all trip from Uyuni to the salt flats and a nice place to soak up the atmosphere and remoteness of the Andean plains rather than a tourist hotspot. It is very crowded during the late morning onwards. I have heard the vision is more magical during sunset and sunrise times. There are no entry tickets.
