Meet at your chosen time on Calle Ayacucho for a short walk to Plaza 10 de Noviembre, located just a few meters away.

At the plaza, we will be in front of the Holy Basilica Cathedral of Potosí, built between 1808 and 1836, showcasing both colonial baroque and neoclassical architectural styles. We will discuss the significance of its designation as both a "cathedral" and a "basilica."

This cathedral represents the last major construction in Potosí. During our 1-hour guided tour, we will explore the importance of religious architecture in Bolivia and the history of the building itself.

After admiring the cathedral's façade and learning about its various phases, we will enter its naves to view the paintings, decorations, and gold-leaf panelling inside. The tour includes visits to the mausoleum, the choir, and the bell tower, which offers a stunning view of Potosí.

We will conclude our tour at the exit of the temple. See you next time!
