Join me in Potosí, Bolivia, known as the deadliest city in the country due to its perilous mining history, as we dive into the rich traditions of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This journey begins at Potosí’s central plaza, where I explore its fascinating past as one of the wealthiest cities in the world in the 1500s, before Spanish colonisation led to an infamous extraction of silver. It’s said there was enough silver mined here to build two bridges reaching from Bolivia to Madrid and back!
After uncovering Potosí’s historic legacy, we delve into the heart of the Day of the Dead festival, experiencing local customs firsthand. At the city’s cemetery, we join Bolivian families celebrating with unique offerings, exploring the symbolism behind each one. Here, I taste a variety of traditional Bolivian foods, learning how these offerings connect to honouring the deceased. Discover how Potosí’s rich history and present-day traditions merge, shaping a powerful and culturally rich celebration of life and memory.
