• •Casa Nacional de la Moneda (National Mint) — one of South America's finest colonial buildings, a massive 1773 royal mint where Bolivia's silver wealth was coined, now housing mining and numismatic exhibits
• •Cerro Rico mine tours — guided descents into the still-active silver mines of the 'Rich Mountain' that funded the Spanish Empire, where miners chew coca and honor the devil figure El Tio
• •Plaza 10 de Noviembre — Potosi's elegant main plaza surrounded by colonial buildings and the Cathedral, at 4,090 meters one of the highest city squares in the world
• •Church of San Lorenzo — a 1728 church with one of Bolivia's finest mestizo-baroque stone portals, intricately carved with indigenous motifs of mermaids, suns, and tropical birds
• •Torre de la Compañia de Jesus viewpoint — the bell tower of the former Jesuit church offering sweeping views over Potosi's colonial rooftops to the looming Cerro Rico silver mountain beyond

• •Ingenio de San Marcos — ruins of a colonial-era silver refinery on the outskirts of the city, showing the scale of the mining operation
• •Museo Conventual Santa Teresa — a convent museum with colonial art and a hauntingly preserved cloister where nuns lived in isolation for centuries
• •Tarapaya hot springs — natural thermal pools in a volcanic crater lake just outside the city, offering warm respite at high altitude
