Hola todos, this is one of the most amazing trip I´ve done in my life. So, it all started the day before, when we left Potosi. Let´s say that we wanted to leave this place as quick as we could to reach Potosi. We took a bus at 19.30, and I can tell you it was one of the worst trip I had. The bus was promoted as a 5-stars bus. Well, I guess they were not talking about the comfort but the number of stars painted on the bodyside.... But inside was even worse. The smell was equal to the farm, and not the one growing vegetables, rather growing pigs. And I have to mention the road, or rather the "gonna a be a road is few years time", because it was like a riding ... read more

Coucou ! Apres une petite nuit dans le bus (le bus en lui-meme est assez confortable, mais l odeur du voisin me chatouille les narines et m empeche de plonger dans les bras de Morphée. Ce qui n est pas le cas de mes amis pharmaciens, aidés par leur petite pillule), nous arrivons a Sucre. Oui il y a une vraie douceur de vivre a Sucre, mais la ville tire son nom du General. Donc Sucre. Ville universitaire progressiste, elle est atypique pour le pays. Super jolie avec de nombreuses places et parcs, belles demeures, rues propres et relativement calme. C est la plus belle ville de Bolivie, et elle est evidemment classé au Patrimoine de L UNESCO. Dans le meme style, nous desendons a l hotel Colonial comme de vrais colons: Chambre avec 3 lits ... read more

Hola todos !! This morning I arrived in Bolivia. I took a bus from Puno, Peru to Copacabana, Bolivia. Basically I went along the Lake titicaca and I crossed the border at This time, everything went very smoothly. The bus stopped at the peruvian migration office, I got my exit stamp, then walked 300m to the bolivian migration office and got my entry stamp !! Simple as that. Then, the bus dropped us at Copacabana at 12h45. I wanted to go straight to the Isla del Sol, but the boats leave twice daily, at 8.30am and 1.30pm. Well, I had enough time you will think. Indeed, I had enough time theoratically (45 min lag) to take the boat. But I had no cash on me, and believe it or not, there is no ATM in Copacabana ... read more

Hola amigos !! Ce post un peu particulier est consacré au lac Titicaca. Particulier car la visite du lac a eu lieu dans 2 pays, au Perou et en Bolivie, sur 3 jours. Le lac titicaca, c est un peu un reve de gosse. Le truc dont on entend parler en classe de CM1 je crois , et un nom qu on n oublie pas. Honnetement, en depit du coté ultra-touristique, je suis tellement content d y etre. C est pour moi quelque chose a voir une fois dans sa vie. Informations generales: Le lac Titicaca, qui signifie le cailloux du pima, ou puma gris, s'étend sur 8500km², dont 4750km² appartiennent au territoire péruvien et 3750km² à la Bolivie,soit une repartition d environ 60%/40%. Longueur de 210km, largeur de 65km. Les données different selon les guides, ... read more

Hola todos ! This morning I arrived In Cusco, the gringo city. After my trip to the Colca Canyon, my legs hurt soooo much that I cant walk anymore !! So, 1st impression of Cusco is that it is really a gringo city. You almost see more gringos than peruanos. And the peruanos are all trying to sell you something: A tour, a hat, some weed, some coke, a free-drink in the bar, the best dinner in town, and so on. The funniest part is the crowd of gringos. You split them into 3 categories: 1st, the wannabe explorers dressed with brand new gears straight from North Face. They spent more money in equipments for 1 week than the flight ticket price. 2nd, the over-cool backpackers. They are dressed with dirty and torn clothes, with flip-flops ... read more
