The Wild, Wild West (or why we shouldn´t have TV)
... Argentina, which Logan and I are really excited about. Even though things will be alarmingly expensive for us in comparison to Bolivia, we are looking forward to eating steak, drinking good wine (that´s just me, Logan doesn´t like wine too much), ...

Crossing the first border

Red rock country!
... It was a pretty efficient crossing with little delay, and I made my way to the bus terminal to catch my bus to Tupiza at 2pm. Little did I know that Bolivia is an hour behind Argentina (!) so the wait was longer than expected! The town was celebrating its ...
Hi Ho Silvia Way!
Horsey riding was amazing! The best 10 bucks I ever spent. The views were phenomenal, but just riding around on a horse all day was enough for me. My Horse´s name was Silvia. Loads of fun. Especially since we got to gallop! I´m going to make this short ...
Howdy cowgirl!

Kel reaches Bolivia
Crazy horse ride in Tupiza Following the route of Butch Cassady and the Sundance kid, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go on yet another horse ride. I ended up being part of a very large group and made my first mistake when I disclosed that ...
Tupiza
From Potosi we took an early bus to Tupiza which is in the southern part of Bolivia, not far from the border to Argentina. A completely different landscape from other parts of Bolivia. Red rock, canyons and desert. We stayed in a hostel ...
Bolivia
Hey Everyone, Well we are not in Argentina anymore and wow is that obvious. We are finally traveling! Bolivia has the appearance of a country struggling to keep its head above water. Its people are very traditional and it is obvious upon crossing the ...
The wild west
Tupiza, our next stop, is known for its beautiful landscape that brings Arizona and Utah to mind. Fittingly, this area was also where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid met their end in 1809. The ride there was scenic, on a good ...
Salt Flats tour - Day 1
After a breakfast of stale bread and black coffee me and Anne head off to the tour agency for the beginning of our 4 day tour to see the Salar de Uyuni (Uyuni Salt Flats). I´m slightly nervous as I´ve heard this tour is hard work, freezing cold ...
Tupiza the wild west of Bolivia

Una frontera fácil y uno hermoso paseo del tren
... turned out to be pretty comfy as we all had an allocated padded seat, and a view of the beautiful countryside we were travelling through - Bolivia seems to be my kind of country. By the time we arrived in Tupiza, darkness had well and truly set in as we ...
Tu Pizzas Please

Tupiza
... have prepared us for anything - in comparison, Bolivia is a walk in the park! We made it as far as Tupiza, a small town in southern Bolivia. Tomorrow we head off with new friends Heather, Kat, Nick and Chrissy for a tour of the southern altiplano and ...
Dean Anthony and Wild Horses
... I survived, despite the horse rearing up (crazy dogs and a stray football decided to attack us all at once), running, and generally trying to kill me. Other than the tales of DA and my horseback ride, tupiza proved to be relatively uneventful. ciao tupiza ...
Volcanoes, lakes and salt
... fantastic landscape ending in the salt plains of Uyuni. After a bit of deciding we chose to do a tour to the salt plains from Tupiza and miss the phallic rocks! This would also mean that we had no time to visit the Atacama desert in Chile as we decided ...
Playing cowboy
... I opted to sit on the floor for the final four hours of the trip. 11 hours after departing, we finally arrived in Tupiza, where the weather was gratifyingly mild. The next day I set out on a five hour horse ride through the surrounding countryside. ...
