Visitors mostly arrived to Potosi by road. The trip from La Paz is excessively long and tiring, reason why is recommendable to first take a flight to the city of Sucre, constitutional capital of Bolivia. The flight doesn't last more than one hour and there are daily departures.

The trip from Sucre -a small and welcoming city- to Potosi, lasts approximately 3 hours. The itinerary is a constant ascent, in which fields of cultivations and immense mountains can be observed. The highway is in acceptable conditions, except in the rainy season (December-March) when constant collapses that block the road occur.
