There are two options for this daytrip from Potosi, Bolivia – bus to the public pools or take an inexpensive half-day tour and go to the natural lagoon.
I wanted to see the town of Miraflores (shot in the video, what you see is about all there is plus a short path to the public pools you can see in the photo below) – to have lunch and visit the hot springs.

The public pools weren’t very appealing, so hopped back on a bus towards town and spent an afternoon at Tarapaya – a little nicer. Tarapaya is also the name of the natural lagoon – that’s where you should go, and take the tour (or a taxi) from Potosi as it’s about 20 minutes walk off the highway.
