Melgarejo Trail Hike
After picking you up from your hotel in Potosí at 8 am, we'll head to the start of the Melgarejo trail to begin our hike.
During the seven-hour hike, we'll follow the footsteps of the notable Bolivian politician Mariano Melgarejo and learn about his history, including his order to construct this road due to the fear of an ancient curse.
As we traverse the mountains, we'll experience a panoramic view of Potosí and the Cerro Rico, which once housed significant silver reserves. The trail will also lead us past the Portaretrato Cave, followed by a stop for a picnic.
Afterward, we will continue our hike, observing local plants and wildlife, including cacti. We expect to return you to your hotels by around 4 pm.
