Now you need to do something like this, but about the South of Bolivia.

The three departments that are in the south of Bolivia are Tarija, Chuquisaca and Potosí.

Potosí, the silver city

Potosí has been known throughout history as the "city of silver", a nickname that was literally and
unfortunately correct. Cerro Rico de Potosí, as it is called, is a reddish-silver colored mountain that,
since the time of the Spanish conquest, continues to give silver to those who, every day of the year
and in sometimes inhumane conditions, continue to extract the sacred metal they worshiped. the
Incas and that they only offered their gods as an offering.

Sucre, the capital of Bolivia.

Following the logical route we arrive at Sucre, the current capital of Bolivia. Although many attach
this nickname to La Paz, since the Executive and Legislative Powers work there, Sucre still retains
the judicial courts, that is, the Judicial Power. Dividing government activities into two cities was a
political decision whose objective was to unite the country, due to the great social and
communicational differences that still persist in Bolivia today.

Tarija

Tarija is built on the valley of the Nuevo Guadalquivir at about 1,700 meters above sea level, and is
an excellent location for growing vines. In fact, in Tarija some of the most appreciated wines in
the country are produced, in addition to the famous Singani, a distillate of the grape that is the
national drink of Bolivia.
