The heart of Bolivia
... rocky Death Road. The road got christened as 200-300 people died on this road every year up to 2006. A new road was built at this time, however some locals still risk their lives travelling this road every year. Our cycle was a fantastic experience as it was thrilling, whilst also being downhill for 3 hours. We didn`t pass much traffic on route and we stopped regularly enough to take in the breath-taking scenery. The gang in our tour group were really ...

Mon, Tues, Wed - lots of travelling
... best seats available. To get to la Paz which is 850kms away only cost us $25 each! The bus journey began at 6pm Tuesday and lasted 17hours. With no air con and a puncture along the way it was more than interesting! The seats were comfy and we both slept during the night (with the help of sleeping tablets, thanks junior!)
