Interesting and well written article!
I visited Potosi for a few days 2 years ago and In my humble opinion one SHOULD visit the mines! It will inject money into the local economy and offer work for ex miners and others that doesn’t mean they have to work the mine for minerals to survive.
Also the history of Potosi is rich with greed and atrocities where the mine is one example and Casa de la Moneda is another. It’s difficult to grasp for us Westerners how bad it is/was in the mine and Casa de la Moneda, whereas a visit will really hit you like a truck in that regard.
Best regards,
