El Cerro Rico, the rich mountain, one of the most important silver mines of the Spanish colonies in America. A place inhabited by miners and traditions.
The altitude (more than 4000 meters above sea level), the miners’ quarters and the shadow of the great mountain influence the life of San Luis Potosí, one of the symbols of Bolivia. Where history and colonial exploitation mix with the progressive policies of Evo Morales, the extractivism of large multinationals and the religious beliefs of a population accustomed to syncretism.
