Grito de Piedra plot

The inhabitants of the town of Potosí in Bolivia live for the most part on the revenues from the mines of Cerro Rico (rich hill). Minerals such as silver and zinc have been mined there for centuries. It is said that from all the silver that has come out of this hill a bridge can be built from Potosí to Madrid. The profession of miner is passed down from father to son. Time seems to have stood still in Potosí. No big machines, but hammer and chisel, headlights and sticks of dynamite. But the Cerro Rico is starting to run out and new sources of income must be found. The solution: tourism.
