The cost was BS 20 per person. Closed on Sundays. We turned up on a Monday and had an English guide right away - seems like they are just waiting around for people to come. He showed us around the cathedral which was beautiful. We ended on the belltower with a decent view.
I'm not sure why Potosi gets such a bad rap - We loved it here and really wish we have have spend two nights instead of 1.

We visited the cathedral after siesta was over in the early afternoon. You pay to enter (which is strange in my mind) and then you are walked over and locked inside for twenty minutes. No guide to give you a background of the building or the Catholic community in Potosi. Just shut inside for twenty mins to wander and take pictures. Like most churches there is a beauty inside that is indescribable. I would have appreciated some descriptions and n the stain glass or crypts in the back but that was not to be. The view from the bell tower in incredible but not worth the price of admission. Go if curious and you enjoy churches but not a must stop.

Once you buy the ticket to see the interior, you can also climb the bell tower from where you can get great views of the city of Potosi and the Cerro. Be aware of the altitude and climb up slowly!

You need to pay to enter this church. That is against my mindset. It is actually quite expensive. During your visit you are continuously guarded. The should only charge for access to the tower. The view from there is unique and makes the visit worth while

You can't miss this church since it's in the main square of Potosi in the November 10th Plaza. It's colonial style architecture is very nice with intricate stone work. Inside it's like many other churches.

Not much to do in Potosi so you should definitely check the church out. At night there is a little more life in the town so walking around is cool

The church itself is not very fascinating and offers the same as so many other churces. However, the climb to the top of the church tower makes it worth a visit as you have a great view of the main plaza as well as the city and the mountain.

Very friendly curator.
Apparently the cathedral is predominantly a museum now and is only used for worship on a Sunday which seems a shame.
Other than visiting the mines, there is not much to do in Potosi but we enjoyed spending half an hour or so in the cathedral.

This is a beautiful chuch. We felt priviledged to visit it on such an important day. There was beautiful music and hundreds of visitors.
