Life with the animals...
This is a top pick! Dean: Well, we got here and have started work (six days in). Alex is currently working with about 70 birds in the lower avery, but she is hoping to spend her second week somewhere else (maybe with the monkeys). I am on my own ...
The last stop
This is a top pick! As we wound the bikes around the streets of Cochabamba looking for a hostal with a courtyard for the bikes, my engine died and wouldn't start. The kick start felt really crunchy and just wrong. Angry and tired I pushed the bike for about 10 mins to the ...

This is a top pick! Dean: We are spending about 15 days at an animal sanctuary in Villa Tunari (www.intiwarayassi.org). We will be here for Christmas and New Year and we don't think that there will be any Internet :-( If we can we will update the site but ...

Pit-stop in Cochabamba
This is a top pick! Dean: We are now making our way back north for Christmas, to a village near Cochabamba, breaking the journey up by stopping over in Cochabamba for the night. It's a good sized town but Alex and I are still not feeling 100%. I'm sure we ...

Walking in canyons with dinosaurs in Toro Toro
This is a top pick! I went to Cochabamba, mainly as a starting point for a visit to Toro Toro. I spent a day in Cochabamba first though, to find out about tours, transport, etc. No tours clearly, also not that much transport either, actualy just not much information ...
First days in Bolivia

Through the Amazon on a boat?
... do, accept laugh at your misfortune and laugh we did. Our only real option was to go to the next city, Cochabamba. Driving through rural Bolivia reminds me of my time in East Timor. A lack of proper infrastructure, people jammed packed in vehicles, ...
