We arrived in Cochabamba and decided to for once be sensible and sort out our bus to Toro Toro before we left the station to find a hostel...unfortunately we discovered that the buses only left on certain days and we had missed that days bus by 2hrs and there wasn't another one for 3 more days...by which stage we needed to be heading to Sucre. R...

Okay so this is an incredibly long overdue entry.. however i will try my hardest to give you all an account of my past two weeks in Cochabamba. Well i arrived with minimal trauma (other than the usual case of not sleeping on buses and being incredibly tired), was picked up in a main square by John, one of the workers at Sustainable Bolivia, the ...

This week, things seem to be settling down. There were dialogues between all the prefectors of departments and the president, here in Cochabamba. Meanwhile the road to santa cruz has continued with the famous roadblocks and beef is more and more scarce, but gas has returned, transportation in the city is normal, and the people are calm as always...

After a 6 and a half hour bus ride, a couple of army stops and a lot of bad loud music the bus dropped me off at Villa Tunari. Last night i found this good place in Sta Cruz - good food, nice people and also a good Cuban combo playing some really nice music. As uasual too many Singanis ( local grappa ) and i spent the bus ride with a beautiful h...

Hi all! This week/weekend have been significantly better than last week and weekend. I spent last weekend in the hospital with a throat infection and very dehydrated. But they took good care of me and I am back to 100% and finishing my antibiotics. The hospital was definitely not like those in the states, but it was very nice nonetheless and the...

8 aprile 2007 E' la domenica di Pasqua. Con la famiglia di Riccardo sto trascorrendo alcuni giorni a Cochabamba. Così si presenta una buona occasione per camminare un pò in montagna. Posso, infatti, salire sul Cerro Tunari, la cima più alta della Bolivia centrale. I suoi pendii si trovano 25 chilometri ad ovest di Cochabamba, all'interno del Par...

Ciao a tutti, il lavoro e' bello freenetico e per questo morivo mi e' difficile aggiornare spesso il blog! Comunque ne vale la pena perche' ho pubblicato sul gionale Los Tiempos ben tre articoli!!! Riguardano tutti un festival di teatro e marionette ma e' stato strafigo farli....e poi tre articoli in una settimana non e' male per niente!!! Se vo...

Piano piano mi ambiento, la citta non sembra piu tanto caotica dopo che ti abitui e la gente si fa di giorno in giorno piu simpatica!!! Oggi ho cominciato il lavoro e vi faro sapere se diventero un importante giornalista boliviano, intanto mi guardo intorno e cerco cosa interessanti da scrivere anche per mandarle a qualche giornale in Italia.......

2 weeks in Sucre, one of that lying in a hospital bed, was more than enough. But these Bolivians make it hard to leave. There is a Massive strike of all public transport in Bolivia, so we have had to resort to the truckers to take us north. Tonight, at 5pm, we have a truck, (we being, me and John, my English mate) The massive truck is hauling co...

Parque Machia is Ambue Ari's sister park, it was set up before Ambue Ari, on land rented from the local govenment. Ambue Ari, however is built (an is still being built) on land that the Communidad Inti Wara Yassi owns. Parque Machia is more well-established and right next to a town, so if you want to volunteer and but would prefer a few more cre...
