Cerro Rico Silver Mine - Charlie

 

 

 

We took a bus to a road with a really disgusting 

alley with lots of dog poo 💩 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

💩💩💩and a few 🐕.Outside there was a little 

stall the tour Gide said we can buy some coco 

leaves and some juice 🧃 for the miners ⛏️⛏️⛏️ . 

We went up the poo💩 infested alley with lots of 

sewage up to a door 🚪 .Which  lead into a room 

with a door 🚪 at the other side we went in to 

a room with lots of shelves covered in boots 🥾. 

We put plastic bags on are feet 👣 . Then we 

put on the boots 🥾 and some water proof 

trousers and some water proof jackets 🧥  . 

And hard helmets 🪖 and then the tour Gide 

attached lites to our helmets 🪖.Then we went 

back down the poo 💩 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 infested alley .And back into

 the bus 🚎 to the mines ⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️ .

There was lots of carts full of rocks 🪨 being

 pushed by people who had helmets 🪖 and boots

 🥾 and football ⚽️ T-shirts the carts were coming 

in and out of the mines⛏️ .Then the tour Gide took 

us into the mines⛏️ we had to go into the side 

tunnels to avoid getting ran over by a cart .

Finlay and mum found it claustrophobic and 

went back.  Me and dad continued deep into 

the mine and went down a tunnel that didn’t 

have tracks in it and the tour Gide showed us 

the machine that drilled.  

There was a metal miner pushing a cart. 

The man showed us all the different types 

of crystals that you can find.   At the end of 

the tunnel there was a devil dude that we 

gave coco leaves and pure alcohol and 

pure tobacco so the mine wouldn’t collapse.  

Then we went up a ladder in a tunnel that 

was 100% uneven and we carried on going 

down it and found another 2 metal people 

one with a pick axe and one with a drill. 

Then we went out the tunnel and there 

were 2 carts going one way and another 2 

the other way.  We had to go flat against 

the walls while they flipped a cart off the 

rails so the other 2 carts could go past.  

Then we left the mine and found Finlay 

looking at stones.
