... day longer than planned in Tupiza as I forgot my hiking boots in Uyuni and as a size 43 is considered giant feet in Bolivia - and thus almost impossible to find - I have to wait for my shoes to catch up with me as the nicest ...
South American Deserts
From La Paz we took a 16 hour bus ride to Tupiza, in the south of Bolivia. This is still in the highlands, but much lower (2500m). It looks like the US midwest, with red mountains, dry desert like conditions and lots of cactuses. Daytime temperature is ...
Good bye Bolivia
... on these reprobates and just watch with amazement how they go about there disorganised and dishevelled lives. Tupiza was my last stop in Bolivia and it was a beautiful Wild West town where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid stayed. It ...
Horse riding

In the back of beyond
... . Sadly, no matter how far away he went, I could still smell him (the horse, not James). Tomorrow we´re off to Argentina. Bolivia has been fantastic, so we´ll be sad to leave, but we´re really looking forward to Argentinian wines, steak (for James) and ...

Spimy zbyt dlugo i musimy sie mocno spieszyc by zdazyc na autobus, w tym calym chaosie do konca niejestesmy pewni czy wszystko zabralismy z hostelu. Podroz do La Quiaca praktycznie przesypiamy. Na miejsce dotarlismy przed 14-sta. Na dworcu ...
Tupiza and back in the saddle!!

Bolivia
On 19th May we entered Bolivia. Passing through customs with no problems, the difference between Argentina and Bolivia was immediatly obvious. The feel was generally less well off and less comercalised. The roads were dirt roads, and there were small ...
Ride 'em cowboy!
... for a pit stop in a small town the brakes almost failed and we nearly went careering into the market. Eventually we arrived in Tupiza and found a really quite swanky hostel (well compared to the one we stayed in at Uyuni it was the Ritz!). The perfect ...
Horse back riding
... time was an excuse for Cezars horse to flirt and hit on our horses. Four hours was just enough as we got home our buts were quite sore. We packed our stuff around noon and headed to the bus station to leave Bolivia for the last time go to ...
Sucre to Tupiza
... still was good to have done it. From Tupiza we intended to go to Argentina via Villazon on the border. Another Bolivian bus journey to be had... again with no toilets on board. Bolivia seems not to believe in toilets on busses, unlike Ecuador and ...
The wild, wild west
... the miracle of Viaxin, I no longer cough all day. We also just got to have some adventure canyoneering in southern Bolivia. It´s alot like Utah or Arizona. I´ve been uploading pictures forever! Satellite internet doesn´t upload well. I need ...

Kedeng Kedeng Oehoe! en nu de jeep in...
Hoi Allemaal, We zijn vannacht met de trein naar Tupiza gegaan en waren om ongeveer kwart voor negen hier, tassen afwachten en naar het hostel gelopen. Raad eens, we kunnen nu nog mee in een jeep op de 4 daagse tour. Dat betekent dat we binnen het ...
Tupiza
... more expensive singles don't also smell the same way? I think I also suffered from some altitude sickness upon arriving in Bolivia. I had a huge headache all day Sunday, not too surprising since Tupiza is about 3,000 meters (nearly 10,000 feet) ...
Hunting for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
... beer and water, for a whopping 35 Bolivianos - about 3.50 pounds! Since then, we have spent a bit more time taking it easy - Tupiza is a VERY laid back town in a beautiful setting (about 3000m above sea level). It is very safe, and got plenty of little ...
Horse riding in the Bolivian Wild West
... room, and headed out to find somewhere to get some horses and a guide to explore the vast canyon lands which surround the town. Bolivia is fantastic for this sort of thing as the people are very friendly and they are always ready to organise a trip around ...
Raindrops keep falling on my head
Quite a scary drive over to Tupiza near the boarder with Argentina today. We took a couple of wrong turns and Skank our driver performed a 3 point turn on a ridge which really didn´t seem wide enough. I think we all thought we were going to topple over ...
Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
... , watching the roads, guarding the train stations and looking for strangers in villages throughout southern Bolivia. Butch & Sundance skirted their way around Tupiza and followed the long rugged trail to San Vincente. At sundown on November 6th they ...

... would be signs and boardwalks everywhere and bus loads of Japanese tourists! Out here, in the south-west corner of Bolivia, it was just us, jeeps and Mother Nature. Fantastic. This place reminded me of the "mirror lakes" near Milford Sound, ...
Crossing the Border to Bolivia
... the name sounds dangerous but really, it's no different to Argentina, or is it? I was a little apprehensive upon arriving in Bolivia. All the stories, the kidnappings, the drugs and underworld crime worried me a little. On arriving at the border of ...
bad food good times
As I neared the Argentina border, I stopped in Tupiza, Bolivia for a quick visit. For those that don't know, the infamous outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid met their demise right around this area. Robbing the now defunct trains of ...
Going downhill (literally, not figuratively...)
