Information On City of Tupiza and Facts About Tours from Tupiza, Bolivia

Tupiza

About Tupiza

Tupiza is the capital of Potosi's Sud Chichas province. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the biggest mining companies operating in southern Bolivia (such as the Compañía Aramayo) built their headquarters in this beautiful town. Around 1906, Butch Cassidy's gang arrived to Tupiza. After weeks of careful planning, the gang robbed a minerals trading house and escaped in the direction of San Vicente.
