Under the ocean, up in the clouds
Article Abstract:
Venezuela hopes to attract tourists with finds taken from the wreck of a French warship discovered by the Las Aves islands, located around 160 km offshore from Caracas, Venezuela. The finds, which date from 1678, will be displayed in a special underwater museum on Margarita Island, which is already popular with tourists. Bolivia hopes to attract more tourists to Potosi, one of its poorest cities. Visitors to the city can already pay around $10 to see how ore is taken from its mines.
