Chile
Santiago de Chile
Easter Islands next trip...
Shit, too early this season, no skilift open :-(
Not much to say about Chile, i didn´t stay long, it´s just too expensive compared to all other countries around.
More of Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni
More of Bolivia, Potosi
The trip goes on and today....to the mines of Potosi!
It´s pretty tough in the mines, over 4.000m altitude and full of dust and dirt in the mines. Plus it´s full of asbestos!!
But very interesting how the miners still work.
City of Potosi
One mountain with mines, 25.000 people work in there, average wedges 400 Euro per month, expected age of a miner 40-45 years!!!
The devil of the mines
Not much space to move sometimes
Sprengmeister mit Dynamit, schoen alles in die Luft sprengen
