La Posada Del Sol Samaipata

... all the way from Santa Cruz was, for Bolivia, ok, but every now and then it descended into huge potholes, and/or sand and rubble. It seems to be Bolivian practice when fixing a road to completely confuse road users by dumping the materials they are using to do the fixing in the middle of the road, so that only when you get right up close can you see there's a diversion that you must go round. In places the road is only single track making ...

... we have been in yet and I did not feel safe. As Dan explained to me it was something to do with the car not being attached via the diff, so the car was floating around separate from the wheels! We throw him his B$60 as we were just happy to be out of the car. We walk accross the boarder and approach the only man standing on the Brazilian boarder entry. He tells us the office is closed so just go in haha, really!!?.<br><br>A lady ...

... unseren Guide dort getroffen...die Gegend ist dafür bekannt das hier die Anden aufhören und in Flachland beziehungsweise in Dschungel übergehen....sehr sehr schone Landschaft kann ich da nur ein weiteres mal sagen...aber schaut euch selbst die Bilder an.... einen weiteren Tag haben wir uns dann eine Ruine angeschaut über die sich die Wissenschaftler nicht ganz so einig sind wofür sie einmal gedient hat!....die meist Verbbreiteste Theorie ist ...

After arriving back In La Paz, Alycia succumbed to Bolivia´s inevitable stomach woes. A quick trip to the pharmacy, where all medicine is available over the counter (and dirt cheap), looked to be the solution. However an allergic reaction to the drugs caused both of her eyes to swell and close over within minutes, so off we went for a taste of hospital life in South America. After an overnight stay, the eyes were getting better but we aren´t sure if that was due to the medical ...

Hello, Eerst en vooral mijn oprechte excuses voor de miserabelste entry ever (die hier eerst stond) maar soms krijgt natuur en cultuur voorrang op technologie. Concreet betekende dat dus: spurten naar het toilet met een volle blaas en daarna op tocht vertrekken op zoek naar de ziel van Che Guevara. Die heb ik ondertussen ontmoet (zijn ziel ligt nog in Vallegrande, zijn lichaam is alleen even op reis, dixit onze gids), maar daarover later meer want ...

After a night bus from Trinidad to Santa Cruz then a 3 hour shared taxi we arrived in the beautiful and sleepy town of Samipata. After arriving we took a taxi to the Cuevas (waterfall) near the town. Unfortunately it was a little cold or we could have had a nice shower under the falls and after Igauzu falls this failed in comparison a little. The following day we took a taxi to El Fuerte which is a pre inca ruin site near the village. The site ...

Well it was time to leave La Paz and head east and as we couldn´t stand the idea of a ridiculously long bus ride so we caught a plane to Santa Cruz. The flight was very picturesque with great views of the snowcapped mountains that surround the town and we could also see many of the high crater lakes. As Santa Cruz is just another big city we joined up with a couple of other travellers and took a taxi to a little town called Samaipata. It turned out ...
