Aankomen in Uyuni Bolivia

Aangekomen in Uyuni,
Na drie heerlijke dagen in een
comfortabele 4x4 zijn we aangekomen in Uyuni.
We lopen wat rond en kijken of we met
een bus gaan of dat we met de trein tot de grens van Argentinië
willen reizen.



De trein ziet er veelbelovend uit. Wel
nog even ruim 30 uur wachten.... Das dan wel weer …

Jeep Safari in Bolivia's Southern Altiplano

Taking a bus from Cochabamba to Oruro and then a train from Oruro to Uyuni, we arrived at about two in the morning Sunday night/Monday morning. We woke up the next morning and set out on our tour through the salt flats in our off-road vehicles.
The first day was by far the most surreal out of all. From the beginning of our drive we started on …

Bolivia Jeep Safari - Day 3 "Go West!"

James eats food again (yay!) and feels much better - no headache! (Ed JJ - Altitudes a b***h.)

No rain! So we headed down to Laguna Rojo (Red Lake) complete with flamingos which was picturesque with the snow capped mountains in the early morning light.

Heading north for Uyuni and the Salt Flats we passed many more lakes and most …

An UnBoliviable Adventure!!

A tour of the world's largest Salt Flats is a must do for any traveller that passes through Bolivia. There are a few towns in which to start this tour, with a large number of operators offering different tours, routes and itineraries. We had picked Tupiza Tours (operating out of Tupiza) as had heard good reports both online and though other …

The Best of Bolivia

The next leg of our journey (namely to explore Boliva), began with a slight hiccup. After a 5 hour bus ride to Oruro, when arriving at the train station to catch our 8 hour train to Uyuni, we were told that the trains had been cancelled due to a landslide (just our luck). As a result we proceeded to have a long day of waiting around in Oruro (a …

Van de harde realiteit naar droomlandschappen!

Terug in La Paz bezocht ik de cholitas. Dat is nog eens wat anders dan een avondje naar de bioscoop: Worstelende mannen en vrouwen, waarbij geen enkele regel bestaat. Zelfs de scheidsrechter deed soms mee. De volgende avond ging ik met de nachtbus naar Sucre, een koloniale stad die gek genoeg te mooi is. Het wat minder mooie Potosí beviel me daarna …

Salt Flat Tour - Day 4

So after last nights rain we were excited to get to the salt flats – the pools of water on the salt causes a mirror effect which makes it look utterly amazing – so up at 4am again and totay I was dead I felt utterly exhausted. There were lots of jeeps all leaving at the same time and slowly as it got light you could see the water on the …

Salt Flats

The bus ride to Uyuni was a complete nightmare as most of the road isn´t paved and therefore you get rattled around so much it is impossible to sleep. It also inexplicably got into Uyuni several hours early, and therefore our transfer wasn´t there to pick us up when we arrived circa five in the morning. It was freezing cold and nothing was open. …

Salar de Uyuni

Well, after 4 days we FINALLY arrived in Uyuni! You can't even imagine our relief. We had heard from a lot of travelers how much of a dive the town was so with such low expectations we were pleasantly surprised. I mean it's no gem but it's not the worst town we've been in for a night. Our first task was to nail down a tour. What an overwhelming …

Salt Flat Tour!

After another night bus to Uyuni we started our 3 day salt flat tour in a 4x4. At 10 am- we met our fellow tourers- 2 Argentinian guys and 2 girls from Spain and Italy- but best of all our interesting chauffeur for the next 3 days Nestor- oh Nestor Nestor Nestor! It was clear from the start that he was not going to be a bundle of fun and not …
