was about 7.30 am when the train arrived in Oruro. I went down with the rest of the passengers and 
I went to the baggage-car can not take anything in the passenger car, except for a small bag and coats. Containment fences and put behind them bags, backpacks, boxes unloaded personnel. Each person with his ticket in hand waited until they controlled the numbers and delivered. I preferred that most of the passengers pulled the bags, because in no hurry. The sun shone in a cloudless sky, but it was cold. She went out with a map of the city had asked the tourism office of the station. Standing on the sidewalk, deciding the direction to take, I saw several carts installed, where people from the city to 
fencing to take what should be breakfast. . A rich aroma of cinnamon, vanilla and cloves came from there. The people standing received a bowl and spoon with what appeared to be a broth or soup hot, accompanied by tempting-looking rolls, others looked like being fried cakes. Curiosity led me to ask what was and they said, is "api" is "tojori", words that did not add anything to my limited knowledge of food, beverages and desserts regional Bolivians. I was tempted to order them, but I wanted to find out what it was before you taste them. I noticed a girl who relished what seemed to be a compote of peaches, and I started walking, thinking how different it was our breakfast. He was hungry and the perceived aromas I remembered that for several hours 
did not eat anything, but first look for accommodation. He had scored two or three possible sites, the difference in price was due to the type of services and distance from downtown. I started by going to the cheapest, but after visiting two or three and not get all I realized I had made the mistake of not making a reservation, it was shortly before the carnival and also celebrated the birthday of the city. The city was bustling with tourists, photographers, journalists who came to seek to register the Carnival of Oruro Diablada. Finally, I was starting to worry about finding room in a Hotel quite luxurious, 
that was the most expensive of the options as I indicated, but when I asked the price, was not well. Beautifully designed and decorated, the room was spacious, with antique furniture, the dining room with columns and construction designs reminiscent of the "Belle Époque." When I went to breakfast I said I was free.

According to popular belief, miners must usually leave a small gift (candy, cigarettes, coca leaves) for permission to enter the interior of the mountain and take their treasures. I marveled visiting the Museum of Masks, located next to the Church of the Tunnel . Some masks are very valuable, are of all sizes, designs and colors, from some ancient being made by craftsmen in metal, ceramic-encrusted costumes and feathers to the most varied and exotic models.
