Tupiza Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Get to tupiza..which is a very quite place, the woman who runs the hostel is crazy, calls herself Jennifer Lopez and loves to chat about how great her tour is...ok lady we get you, wll go with you. This turned out to be a very good plan, paid a bit more than others but there were only three of us as opposed to the six they cram into one jeep. We...

As i was leaving the hostel in Potosi, Leen from Belgium made a last second decision to head down with me, and i later realised that Marty, Danni and Jodi (Ozzy couple and a Brit) were on the same bus.

Ohhhhhhh what a ****** bus. At B/40 for semi-cama (ie extra spacious reclining seats with leg rests, usually), we were pretty hopeful whe...

And onto Tupiza! A town that is most famous for being the final haunt of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, we were killed 100 years ago in the nearby town of San Vicente. Those of you that have witnessed myself and Wheeler at fancy dress parties over the years will know that this would be a place close to my heart...

Having been lucky...

Took the bus from Villazon to Tupiza. Bus was slowly climbing unpaved roads, felt like straight up, on rocky/badly marked road. Bus was jacked up couple feet so could maneuver through the couple streams we had to cross along the way. There was to be no sleeping on this rackety bus, as the shaking from the road was seemingly destroying the bus by...

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 southern Bolivia, these guys fell to a hail of gunfire just outside the border town of Tupiza.
The deser...

The bus journey from Salta to La Quiaca/Villazón at the Bolivian border was comfy. I had also been so incredibly tired that I just closed my eyes and was out of the zone immediately and didn't wake up until the bus arrived in La Quiaca, 45 minutes before schedule. From the bus station, I had to take a taxi to the border, which cost me a dollar. ...

After spending a day and a half with the oddballs who had now become our friends it was Steph´s birthday, yay!
Steph is extremely grateful for all the birthday messages and also for the cheques in the post. :)
I bought Steph a hat and a jumper made from Alpaca which cost the grand total of 90 Bolivianos which is about 8quid (I also managed...

Rose: Well I am pleased to say that despite a nasty mountain bike accident I am alive and well - slowly on the way to being myself again - pocito a pocito. It happened on Sunday and today is my first day out and about. We were in a group doing a jeep, horse riding and mountain biking day. The bikes looked ok - not too old but the brakes were poo...

What do these three have in common? They all suffered violent deaths in Bolivia. And as for Butch and Sundance, from their wanted posters, there is no question that Robert Redford and Paul Newman were much better looking. In Tupiza, I booked a 4 day tour of southwest Bolivia which included the Altoplano(High Plain)and highlands. With an Aussie c...

Hello readers! I´m going to emalgamate two entries into: the 5 days I spent in Sucre, the capital of Bolivia, and my 3 days in Tupiza. Sucre We had an interesting trip to Sucre. The bus ride was about 12.5 hours all in (and it took its toll). The roads in Bolivia aren´t noted for being ermm...complete, and they certainly aren´t paved. Think of a...
