Uphill slog in Samaipata
This is a top pick! According to our (now missing) guidebook, the mountain town of Samaipata is where the well-heeled of Santa Cruz go to beat the heat and party over the weekends. Well, after our financial setback in Bolivia´s biggest city (see previous entry) we needed ...
It's day 300 and I am back on the chicken bus.
This is a top pick! ... months in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, it's fun to be back in Bolivia where everything is different and a "tad" more chaotic. I really enjoyed Bolivia when visiting for a few days some years ago, and I am sure I will have a great time now as well. The ...
hard rock mountain
This is a top pick! Kat and I have decided to split up, (only joking) well actually no, we are going our separate ways and the reason is my American friend Rich has persuaded me to go mountain climbing with him and attempt to summit Huanya Potosi, a ...
Highest City on Earth
This is a top pick! ... all the profits and when they were basically bereft - he turned them back to the workers after a bit of a revolution. Bolivia is historical for revolutions - problem is they have lost most of everything over the years to bigger and more powerful ...
Death Road , Bolivia
This is a top pick! So........... After our eventfull bus ride to La paz we have been here for a few days now. Its the highest capital city in world...basically meaning that i am out of breath after walking up a flight of stairs! Its an amazing city from a ...
want to make a bomb?
This is a top pick! Potosi, the highest city in the world, and most famous for a giant hill full of silver, tin and very nasty chemicals. We joined a tour and paid an old miner to take us in for the day, show us around and put us to work. The next day, we started ...
Moving on (at last)
This is a top pick! Hello hello! Well, I have finally decided to move on from lovely Sucre and get myself on the road again. Its kind of a wierd feeling knowing that I am going to have to start making actual decisions about where to eat, where to sleep and who to talk ...
Catastrophic Crossing
This is a top pick! ... an exhausting border crossing, as the song says.....things can only get better! The best and worst bits of Bolivia can now be seen in this video - http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com/tripwow/ta-022c-3418-f3f1?ln Love Hollie ...
La Paz
This is a top pick! ... rested on top of the bus when we stopped at lights, immediately the whole bus started humming as we earthed a power line. Bolivia at its best! We visited Lunar valley, an unusual mud tower formation. Went to the best coca museum in the ...
Flamingoes, fumeroles and wide open spaces
This is a top pick! ... afternoon, after collecting bags and arranging onward travel, everyone gathered in Minuteman (the best pizza place in the world, let alone Bolivia!) for a farewell drink and a bite to eat. We´d bought tickets for the 1.45am train to Oruro (from where we ...
Turkey and brussels sprouts
This is a top pick! A Bolivian Christmas! Its been ages since I last wrote, and I'm still in Sucre. Its been over 3 weeks now since I arrived here, and although I'm already getting slightly itchy feet, I reckon I'll be here till the end of January. The Spanish ...
Crazy animals, the Pampas, Rurrenabaque, Bolivia
This is a top pick! ... they let you set off some dynamite. I didn´t really fancy that idea so headed on to Sucre, which is the official capital of Bolivia. It had some nice colonial buildings, and I was very tempted to buy some antiques but glad I resisted. There was a miners ...
An odd, but beautiful start!
This is a top pick! ... go in 4 x 4 due to the snow (of which there was not much!) we stopped in the middle of nowhere to be stamped into Bolivia. Possibly the strangest border crossing I have ever seen with a bus carcass on the side of the road, sorry that is an exaggeration, ...
Isla del Sol
This is a top pick! ... our Belgian friend, Gaelle, who we last saw on the Easter Islands. For the past few weeks Gaelle has been travelling through Bolivia on a guided tour with her parents. Gaelle meets us in our hostel kitchen. We feel relaxed after our stay in Copacabana ...
Altiplano Day Two
This is a top pick! DOMINIQUE HERE: Day : 290 Weather : Sunny Temperature : 15 degrees I'd had a terrible night's sleep, although when I woke up I was feeling slightly better than I had the previous night. My headache, although still present was somewhat less. I didn't feel ...
Sucre er helt konge!
This is a top pick! ... , it's not extremely cheap for Bolivia, as this is more of a Gringo hangout than your typical Bolivian establishment (who in Bolivia would eat granola and yoghurt for breakfast?). But consider I would get something like half a bottle of water in Norway ...
Sweet Sucre
This is a top pick! Hi all, Not a lot to say about Sucre I'm afraid. It is the constitutional capital of Bolivia so unlike the barren, derelict towns we have previously visited, Sucre is a Spanish city full of colonial, white buildings and narrow streets that reflect ...
Potosi
This is a top pick! From Uyuni, we rang hostels in Potosi that would agree to take 17 of us at 2am when the bus got in. We eventually found one - after discovering that many of the numbers in the Lonely Planet were wrong. We left Uyuni at 7pm. Just over two hours into our ...
Breathless
This is a top pick! ... ! The exciting thing this week has been the inauguration of Evo Morales, the new president. He's the first president in Bolivia from an indigenous background, and the celebrations here were done in earnest. The lady in the laundry said things ...
The Incredible Salar de Uyuni
This is a top pick! DOMINIQUE HERE: Day : 291 Temperature : 20 degrees Weather : Partly cloudy Our driver turned up and hour and a half late to collect us without a word of explanation and didn't even acknowledge that we'd been waiting for ages. This, really peed us ...
Yeee-ha! The world´s most dangerous road by bike
This is a top pick! We'd been told it's an absolute must-do in Bolivia... hurtling down "the world's most dangerous road" on a mountain bike! Always up for a challenge, we signed up with one of the many agencies in La Paz who offer this adrenaline-filled one-day adventure, ...
Tupiza and Horses
This is a top pick! ... time could not have been any better. I don't think I will ever get a chance to ride a horse like that again, litterally nudging the horse into to life like like the twist of a motor bike throttle but this is Bolivia and the reason we love ...
The Inca Island That Craddles The Sun
This is a top pick! Hi all, The Island of the Sun is the legendary Inca creation site and is the birthplace of the Sun in Inca mythology. Many backpackers come here to hike around the island, but as we got a later boat we decided just to visit the south part of the island. ...
Here we go again!
This is a top pick! So we were heading south. Gone was the tropical climate of Rurre and out came the thermal undies and llama jumpers. It was great to be back on the road, and this time it really was a road. Tarmac all 230km of the way to Oruro. The scenery had ...
Bolivia...the bargain basement of South America
This is a top pick! ... its cheaper than car insurance! Here in the highlands around the Lake (it's over 4000m) the only inhabitants are Bolivia's Aymara Indigenous people - campesinos similar to the highlands of Peru. The difference here is that there are almost no ...
Still loving La Paz
This is a top pick! ... the afternoon wandering the city which has some lovely old churches and plazas. Stills very European which is a bit odd really! Bolivia on the whole does feel a bit more different from other countries with people wearing local dress e.g. bowler hats ...
We missed the family Yuletide!
This is a top pick! Dean: Every year at the start of December my family (on my mother's side) meet up for our family yuletide celebrations. As the family is now so big and spread out all over the UK, it's a good way for us all to get together and ...
Retracing our tyre tracks
This is a top pick! ... political problems which were leading to road blocks, riots and no petrol across most of the country (can't believe nobody in England knew Bolivia was on the brink of civil war!). We had come to terms with selling the bikes when we got back to La Paz and ...
Change of direction, change of plans
This is a top pick! ... everything from meals to tools and petrol as we knew that services and supplies get a little short in the southwest part of Bolivia. Outside one of the shops an old couple started chatting to us about out our trip, having seen both bikes and ...
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 ...
