'A visit to the cooperative mines will almost surely be one the most memorable experience you'll have in Bolivia, providing an opportunity to witness working conditions that should have gone out with the Middle Ages.' -Lonely Planet

Already visited Paris, Rome, Berlin, Madrid and the other great cities of Europe? Looking for a truly unusual tourist spot? Then how about the silver mines of Potosi in Bolivia, billed as 'the best adventure in the Cerro Ricco,' where you can don helmets, gloves and overalls and descend into the dark, stiflingly hot, and polluted mines to watch real Bolivian miners at work?

CAN'T DO IT IN EUROPE portrays this new phenomenon of 'reality tourism,' whereby bored American or European travelers seek out real-life experiences as exciting tourist 'adventures.' The film follows a group of such international tourists as they visit the mines in Potosi-the poorest city in the poorest nation in Latin America-where Bolivian miners work by hand, just as they did centuries ago, to extract silver from the earth.

Led by their Bolivian tour guide, a former miner himself, and walking through constricted, muddy and poorly ventilated tunnels, breathing fetid air laced with arsenic, asbestos and toxic gases, and occasionally dodging fast-moving carts loaded with silver ore, the tourists take in the 'sights' with goggle-eyed amazement and not a little uneasiness. Although they give the miners recommended gifts of coca leaves and soft drinks, the cultural encounter is no less awkward, with the miners cracking jokes about the 'gringitos' and wondering, 'God knows why they come to see us.'

In addition to interviews with the tourists, tour guide, and an elderly retired miner, CAN'T DO IT IN EUROPE features a discussion by the city's Director of Development, who boasts of the city's growing tourist trade-presently 50,000 tourists per year-and explains why, in order to preserve the authentic 'experience' for tourists, they don't want to change or improve working conditions for the miners.

After the visit to the mines is concluded with a bang, literally, by the chance to explode a stick of dynamite, several of the tourists comment on the value of such Third World tourism. Apart from the fact that you CAN'T DO IT IN EUROPE, as one explains, you can also better appreciate your own life after you've seen people worse off than yourself.

'Accessible to those first being introduced to anthropology, it is also provocative and engaging for senior students able to address more fully themes of postcolonialism, the tourist gaze, authenticity, commodification, globalization, and discourses of Orientalism and 'imperialist nostalgia.''-Anthropologica

'An excellent film for provoking classroom discussion on the role of contemporary tourism in the developing world! The film offers a comprehensive exploration of its subject from all sides of the tourist encounter. This is essential viewing for tourism studies, cultural anthropology, and documentary film courses.'-Pegi Vail, Anthropologist/Filmmaker/Curator, Anthropology Department, Columbia University

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
[sil.]

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.999
Long before Spain conquered
Bolivia, the Incas knew that

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.999
there were precious stones
and metals in Cerro Rico,

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:49.999
the mountains of riches.

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.999
But no sooner had first hammer blow

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.999
fallen into the mines of silver, a voice
was heard from the depth of the mountain.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.999
The silver is not for you.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.999
God intended this is riches, for
those who come from far away.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:18.000
[music]

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:24.999
It would not take long
for those who came from

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.000
far away to arrive.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:48.000
[music]

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.000
[music]

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.000
[sil.]

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:53.000
[sil.]

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.999
Yeah. One was, one was working like…

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.999
One was five, the fifth floor.
Like all of these five levels.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.999
Yeah, and each came to me just as there’s another
floor. And I wonder what’s working on the fifth floor.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.999
And to get there, you
had to go like a small,

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.999
there’s, inside there’s a small
corner you just have to…

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
I went there, I was like, like this.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
And then when you got there… Yeah. Just
sort of a… You really be down of course.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.999
On his own, completely on his own,

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
nobody else watching… Yeah,
but it was pretty horrible.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
I just wanted to get out the whole time. Yeah, me too.
We just kept talking, talking. Talking, I said no.

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
[sil.]

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
No, I don’t want to work
in the mines because umm…

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
I’m afraid of small dark places

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
and I… I think, I, I would feel

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
strange seeing people work
under very hard conditions.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:38.000
[sil.]

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:49.999
This one was taken when they were miners.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.999
This one when they were guides. They look more happier,
they look younger. If they are not good guides,

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
they go back to work in the mines.

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
Good boys, good sense of humor, which
is very important inside the mines.

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
After these two, you will love your jobs.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.000
Me too, I love my job. I
don’t want to go back there.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
This 30… Oh, water.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
Yeah, this 42. Made in Germany. 42.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.999
I expect it to be a health and safety
work nightmare. I expect to see

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.999
people working in conditions that wouldn’t be
tolerated any where else from what I read about it.

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
Umm… and I… I expect to learn a
lot from uh… from seeing it.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
Umm… Because we heard it’s
awesome and the best thing,

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.000
they love people who have been on the trip.

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.999
Maybe, maybe they’ll, you know, be proud to show, you
know, their… their working skills and… I don’t know.

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.999
I hope so. I don’t want it to be, you know. I don’t want to
interfere, you know, fearless where we are gawking at them

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:19.999
and they’re wild monkeys in the
zoo or something like that.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:28.000
[sil.]

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
What happens to our shoes?

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.999
Yeah, it seems like this. We… one moment…

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:48.000
[sil.]

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
English. English. Yeah, we are two
guys, okay. Espaniol, English.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:13.000
[non-English narration]

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.999
Okay, now we’re in the miners marg. This is the miners
street, eh… And the miners here, they must buy,

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.999
not in market yard, the dynamites,
equipment. It’s very simple in this street,

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.999
anyone can buy the dynamites,
the miners, young boys,

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
10 years old, 12 years old.
Yeah, this is safe.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
Yeah, he said, one dynamite
complete cost 16 Boliganos

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
Dynamite, fuses, the tornadoes,
ammonia nitrite, 16 Boliganos(ph)

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
like two dollars, uh… 16.
This is the alcohol.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
I thought alcohol… They are
drinking pure alcohol. Here 96%.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.999
They say… They are drinking, no Madam.

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.999
You want to try? No. Why not? This is good.

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:19.999
I told you before to drink, the miners, they are
making like talia. Yeah, like talia. This is talia.

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
Some alcohol first for
the Pachamama they say.

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:29.999
This is for you Pachamama.

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.999
Give for us more minerals. That what they
say… for Pachamama, then they’re drinking.

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.999
[sil.]

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.999
Oh. Yes.

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:49.999
Here, yeah, the shop is for you.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
Yeah, you come buy here some gift for
the miners. Yeah, I thought alcohol is

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
not good idea today to buy, yeah. But this is the
best present for the miners. Dynamite and drinks.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
Also if you want to buy coca, we
can buy in the next shop. Yeah.

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
Well… Okay, friends, that shop is for you.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999
Can we buy gloves also? Gloves, yes. Yeah, who
wants to buy Completos? Do you want Completo?

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
Why have you come to Potosi? Umm… because

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
I became we’ve been really interested in Inca history since we’ve
been going around, because we studied it when we were at university

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
and we found out that basically one time that
the whole Inca population died in the mine

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.999
and three centuries that we were there. So we are quite scarce especially
when we saw the… the conditions there, are exactly the same now

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.999
as they were maybe 3 or 400 years ago. Give or
take. So before we come and see what it was like.

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:48.000
[sil.]

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
Where I’m going is to make people aware

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
umm… of what’s going on here and
you know, may people appreciate

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
what they’re doing for us, you know, with the
tin and the silver and things like that.

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:18.000
[sil.]

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
Focus. Good for the altitude, good.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
[sil.]

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
You know, at first, I thought
it would just be not fun

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
but, you know, more enjoyable and
then umm… I don’t know, after this

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
just, just takes, you know, knocks… knocks you back a
bit and it’s just… I think probably a lot going to see,

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
you know, these conditions and stuff
like that and it’s really bad.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:58.000
[sil.]

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
I think it’s the most disturbing
thing I’ve ever seen.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.999
And I’ve seen a lot of positive most of us
have traveled a lot but I’ve never seen

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:20.000
anything like this. That’s hardship, I
think, it is rather than just poverty.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:58.000
[sil.]

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
Yeah, also give me all your presents,

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
your drinks, dynamites,
coca, everything okay.

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
We’ll see if we can run the fire,

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
the dynamite by yourself and
use it like a miner. Yeah.

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
You would like to do that? Yeah. Definitely, yeah, I would
like to use some dynamite and blow something up, you know.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
I think it’s part of it, isn’t it.

00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:03.000
[sil.]

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:48.000
[sil.]

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
Okay, watch out here to the left.

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
There is a big hole. Watch out.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:33.000
[sil.]

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.999
We are Catholics but here inside, we are still
believing in different Gods, you know, our Gods

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.999
because when the Spanish they arrived to
Potosi in the 1545, they bring the Catalisimo,

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:04.999
that’s why we speak (inaudible)
but until today, we are still

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.999
believing in our God’s, like the
Pachamama, the Mother Earth.

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.999
The miners, they say, he
has the power inside,

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
that why because always the miners say. The
Gods are in heaven and the devil must be

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
inside underground. That’s why the miners
they say, the devil will call him an uncle,

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
he’s the owner, the owner of (inaudible).

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:35.000
[sil.]

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:53.000
[sil.]

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
Now most of the miners are working in the
next level, in the level, in the third level.

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
Yeah. Then they are going to see the mine, you can
take pictures. We are going to talk with the miners.

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:20.000
[sil.]

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
Coca, I like coca. You know,
this is my lunch and my dinner.

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
Yeah. Like the miners. The miners, they don’t eat here. When they are
working, they are chewing just coca. They are working just with coca.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
Yeah, the next trolley is coming.
Some water, yes, some water.

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
Yes, of course, before and after.

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:55.000
[sil.]

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:08.000
[sil.]

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
He’s working in the mines like
one year, he says. One year.

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.999
(inaudible).

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.999
16, so young, in the mine he’s working.
One year. One year.

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:25.000
[sil.]

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:05.000
[sil.]

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:28.000
[sil.]

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.999
This is simple. Some of the miners
inside, they are making their hole

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.999
and the other miners are taking the minerals
in the trolley, they’re pushing the trolley.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.999
Until here, then from here,
they have to climb (inaudible).

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.999
This is just for the vehicle. There is
more others waiting for those minerals.

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.999
Then they push outside. Yes.

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:20.000
Simple but hard job of course. Hard job.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.999
[sil.]

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
Yeah, he say, everyday,
they have to climb up

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
like 400 baskets, 400 times.

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.999
The next basket is full.

00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:03.000
[sil.]

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
Give some space. That’s why the miners,

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.000
always they have good muscles.

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
One drink for those miners, okay.

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
Soft drink, that’s good present.

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:15.000
They are drinking all the time.

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.999
Yeah, come here a bit. Everybody come here.

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:28.000
[sil.]

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.999
That’s 1 ton minerals. 1
ton, yes, 1,000 kilos…

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:39.999
Six, there are six miners in this group.

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:44.999
One of the small group, I told you. Always here inside
they are working in groups. But I told you, in this mine

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:49.999
there are like 200 miners but they are not working
all together in the same time, in the same place,

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.999
in the same working place.

00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:03.000
[non-English narration]

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:14.999
Yeah, they share, now they drink. That’s why… Now
you understand better why they prefer doing this.

00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.999
Yeah, the trolley is coming,
please move here, so that…

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:28.000
[sil.]

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.999
I told you, now we are visiting

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.999
one of the cooperative mine. You know, what does
mean cooperative? Yes, I know, cooperative.

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.999
Cooperative is always like operation.
One for all and all for one.

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.999
Yes, that’s the real cooperative.
But here the miners,

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:09.999
they don’t practice this. They don’t
practice. Yes, inside the groups,

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:14.999
uh… the miners, they are
working the same hour,

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.999
the same time and that’s why, just into
the groups, they share the money equally.

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:24.999
Not inside the mine. Yes.

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:33.000
[sil.]

00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:24.999
But sometimes when they are
finding good mineral then like

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.999
pure silver, good quality, sometimes
they are fighting, you know.

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:34.999
Of course, the miners are not fighting with this, they
are not fighting like Mike Tyson. They are fighting with

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.999
stickers of dynamites. Yeah, there
are accidents, sometimes miners die.

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:44.999
That’s what’s…

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.999
Tourists, good option, good option. That’s
why I love my (inaudible), you know.

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:55.000
Always the miner say, they say gringy(ph.).

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:58.000
[sil.]

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.999
Boiling.

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.999
Boiling, what’s boiling? Yeah.
No, here… here is good.

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:54.999
This is like sauna.

00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:59.999
Oh, yes. Yeah, then we have to change, yes.
Okay, where is your another friend?

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.999
He went down ages ago.

00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:09.999
You go too much.

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.999
Yeah, I go first. I go first.

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:20.000
[sil.]

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.999
I told you to work in the mines,

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.999
it’s like to play lottery.
But also my mother,

00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:39.999
she told me like that. Before you are a
miner, and before you didn’t find nothing

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.999
but now you are working with tourists and now you find
good piece of gringos of tourists, she told me, you know.

00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.999
Yes. That’s why now I’m
working just with tourists.

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:54.999
Better, easy, easy job. Yeah, my father,

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.999
he was working like 30 years more or
less in the mine. 30 years. And now,

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.999
he’s resting at home. He has
a problem with his lungs.

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:09.999
Also he had a small accident, big accident.

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.999
That’s why. Also my brother, they are still
working. I have two brothers, they’re working.

00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:20.000
[sil.]

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:05.000
[sil.]

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:24.999
[sil.]

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.999
Nice holiday with dust arsenic.

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.999
Dust, dirty, asbestos.

00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.999
[sil.]

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.999
Ten dollars, for this, huh.
Very good. How good.

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:49.999
[non-English narration]

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:58.000
[sil.]

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.999
Relieved to get out.

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:04.999
Umm… it’s good to see the daylight
and to have some proper air.

00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:09.999
I feel, I’ll go have some Servatius and
celebrate and sort of umm… reflect on it.

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:14.999
What is it that you’re gonna celebrate?
Coming out and in one piece.

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:19.999
Umm… I’m not much of an underground person.
I would rather

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:24.999
be on top of the ground than under it.
So, it’s beer o’clock, I think. Yeah.

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.999
I mean, I heard about it from a friend a couple of weeks
ago. And I thought, it was one of the best things

00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.999
they did in South America. And
umm… so I had to, I had to do it.

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:39.999
[sil.]

00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:44.999
What we did here was… was great, yeah.
I mean, it’s… it’s exactly how

00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:49.999
these guys worked in the days, six days
a week. Three hours a day until today.

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.999
It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.999
It’s a lot of, you know

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.999
umm… tough guys doing this day
in and day out and for petiks,

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:09.999
what we call petiks, you know.
Umm… this wouldn’t happen at home.

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:14.999
What they’re doing is just umm… unreal. Yeah,
yeah, it’s just… at it’s greatest, yeah.

00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.999
Yeah, I wouldn’t like to be born in Bolivia

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:24.999
especially in Potosi, where it’s cold.
Potosi, yes.

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.999
I would not like to be born here. No.

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:38.000
It’s sad, I thought maybe I would.

00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.999
Why not? I don’t know. The miners didn’t
seem to unhappy about having tourists say,

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.999
you know and then, and I was a bit worried that they
would see it a bit like you see it but it doesn’t,

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:09.999
because just getting on with it. No, I
didn’t really have a problem with it.

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:14.999
You were worrying about it before I
just felt it was a bit patronizing.

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.999
But umm… but it is. You know, you
can’t get around that. It’s okay.

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:28.000
[sil.]

00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:59.999
A trip back in time, I would say.

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:04.999
[sil.]

00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:09.999
Feel free. Hard but exciting.
Will you do it again?

00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:14.999
Oh, yes. No.

00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.999
Oh, I would do it tomorrow, you know. It’s
wonderful. I love to coming to people down there

00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.999
that are real people aren’t they? Yeah,
and that’s what I like about it.

00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.999
It’s and just, just being involved in that environment.
There is no where else in the world you could do it.

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.999
You certainly couldn’t do that in Europe.
Could you?

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:43.000
[sil.]
