Our Americas page covers South and Central America as well as the USA and Canada. As a result there is a huge range of issues facing travellers. In South and Central America we would highlight the dangers when travelling by bus, the depressing statistic is that approximately 700 die annually in Peru as a result of bus crashes. Dengue fever may also be a threat, in early 2010 there were serious outbreaks in Brazil, Bolivia and Guatemala.
Bolivia | Mine Tours Rory McGrath | 03 Feb 2011
If you are staying in Potosi, you must go on a Mine tour. You go down a working mine and it only costs 8 pounds. It is from 9am to 1pm. You see the conditions the Miners work in, you go down a 100 m. As you walk along the tunnels at times you have to hop off the track as carts are coming out and in of the mine being pushed my the men. You can hear them blowing stuff up beneath you. It is a great experience and you get to meet the miners as well. Dont book it through your hostel even if it is a few quid cheaper. We went with Greengo Tours, they provided all the kit and transport.

I recently did the tour with La Casona hostal which was also good. The tour are NOT for the faint hearted, its hot, cramped and to be honest not very safe (despite tour operators best efforts its a hazardous environment. If going on La Casona tour ensure the guide doesnt light the dynamite safety fuse ( 4 mins burning time) in front of you. He did this with us until told to stop arsing around and put it down the detonation tunnel, as one day it will end in disaster.
