Mi Residencia Hotel Trinidad

So I had a week off, and I thought I would travel north into the real rainforest (kinda, just not a transitional forest like the one I volunteer in) and venture onto an Amazon tributary with the hopes of seeing some pink dolphins and giant otters. So I went up to Trinidad, which is apparently not the best area for rainforest in Beni, but I thought I only had time to go that far.

Anyway apparently the only flota to leave Guarayos leaves at midnight ...

Following up on a tip from a guy we met we check out
`Kaissara` hostel in Trinidade - a 40 minute bus ride out of Paraty.
It´s run by an English guy George who set it up about a year ago -
great atmosphere. The hostel is off a dirt track surrounded by jungly
vegetation. Breakfast is great and the curry he cooks for a group of us
- very sociable!

Trinidade
is something special - an ...

Sometimes travel is a breeze, on some beautiful beach with great company, hiking through mountains reaching for the sky, swimming with the creatures of the sea, but sometimes its just tiring, boring and trying.. The trip from Rurrenabaque was to be the latter... The bible (Lonely Planet) had said it was not possible at this time of year in the wet season to travel from Rurre to Trinidad to get to Santa Cruz because the roads were not passable, so I was prepared to pay ...

First a bit of backstory: After leaving Potosi by bus, I stopped for a few hours in Sucre, and then for a full day (but no nights) in Santa Cruz. It wasn't that there was nothing of interest to me in these towns, but by this point I was getting close enough to the end of my trip to realize that I just didn't have time to spare if I was going to make it all the way through Brazil to Bogota. Trinidad was supposed to ...

After the altitude, the cold and the dry climate of the altiplano, a while in the pampa was more than welcome ! : humidity of more than 90%, temperature flirting with 35 C, Maria was in her element ! on top of that our arrival in Trinidad coincided with her birthday so she had the right to stay in a five star hotel for 2 nights, after 3 months spent in backpacker hostals (so did I !!)! Trinidad is a city that we enjoyed, (we were almost the only tourists) we could a ...

After a bumpy night bus from Santa Cruz to Trinidad, we met our Amazon Tour Group contact. The drive out to meet our cruise boat on the Rio Mamore was at times hilarious and other times unbelievable. We took a few ``ferries´´ that consisted of wood planks being pushed across the river by small canoes with motors. The roads were in alright condition, but I can`t even imagine what they are like in the rainy season ...

Der Weg in den Dschungel nach Rurrenabaque führte über Trinidad. Nach 10 Stunden Nachtbus von Santa Cruz nach Trinidad gings dann gleich nochmals 10 Stunden weiter von Trinidad nach Rurrenabaque. Das Highlight der Busfahrt schlichthin war ein Bud Spencer und Terence Hill Film. Läck hani do Fröid gha drann!!!

I flew to Trinidad because it only cost $60 and it saved me 10 hours on a bus. Bus trip in bolivia aren't the greatest. The busses are okay, but the roads are ****. Tinidad was a neat city out in the jungle. The central square was full of tree sloths. I saw at least 4 there.

We arrived in Trinidad on a cloudy morning after a night bus from Santa Cruz. It was still early morning and i had not slept the whole trip. We almost missed that bus, we were running like mad in the traffic, i still don´t know how we made it. Anyway, we met a couple of Israelite guys so we made the trip with them and decided we would hang out with each other for a few days ...

After a less torturing bustrip from Rurrenabaque to Trinidad than I thought it would be, I was finally there, and feeling up to my next, new adventure!

The bus wasn't comfortable and took a bit longer than expected. But not as long as a guy I had known from a pervious trip to Rurrenabaque had to go through, where his bus got seriously stuck in the mud - which is the main element of the Amazonian roads - and after the rain, it got messy. He, along with other Bolivian men had ...
