After our fine Land Cruiser journey and our first city in Bolivia (Uyuni) we moved on to Potosi. Potosi is a mining town and certain companies offer tours of the active mines so we got to see it all first hand. Before we decided to do the tour we read that it was sketchy, dangerous, lame, and overall not a very cool experience. But naturally we do not listen to other people and I am so glad we didn´t because that is not what we experienced at all. It was a phenomenal experience that I am so glad I did, [View Full Entry]

So much has happened since I last wrote and luckily it has been for a good reason. We have had too much fun and have moved so fast. After our fun time in Valpariso, Chile we headed north to San Pedro, Chile. San Pedro is a town that exists purely for tourism and has a lot of fun activities to do because of it. We chose mountain biking, geyser hiking, and an epic jeep tour into Bolivia. The mountain biking journey was an exhausting and beautiful journey. San Pedro is roughly located around 7900 ft (2400 m) and has some very [View Full Entry]

An early morning walk to find a hotel in Vicuna leaves my jaw frantically seizing and my teeth chattering due to what I call arctic temperatures. On the prowl for lodging we pick a kind of upscale hotel for lack of a better option and it did not even have hot water. The one joy of my future, a hot shower, was stripped from me. After the shower disappointment I had one mission, HEAT! I gathered every heating device I could find: radiator, strange wall heating like things, and blankets. A few moments of attempting to get warm was futile [View Full Entry]

How big is Chile? Before this trip I had an idea that it was skinny and long with no real sense of size other than it was not too big. In actuality it is huge! I ended my last post saying that there were 2 volcanoes just outside my hostel and around the corner. That is not entirely true, sorry! There are actually 4 volcanoes. Before we left we had a beautiful sunset view of all four of them at once. If the view was not so expansive you would have an epic picture to enjoy. Now onto stories of the [View Full Entry]

Hola, I have seen quite a bit since my last post but to give you an overview: meat, never better, and beauty. Meat refers to the absolute favorite and practically ridiculous food of choice. Never better refers to never seeing any waterfall better than Iguazu falls. Beauty refers to the people of Santa Fe and Rosario. Each place has been great, the bus rides have been long, and I am loving South America! Buenos Aires (BA) is a very big city that is full of diversity. BA is similar to New York City in that it consists of multiple burrows. Each [View Full Entry]

Hello all, I am writing from Salt Lake City, Utah and I am about to embark on a 3 month journey to South America with my friend Dylan. Dylan and I have gone on an epic adventure every other summer since 2005. First was Europe, second was Asia, and now South America. The journeys have been great and progressively easier/more fun as we learn how to travel, how to experience, how to enjoy, how to endure, and how to deal with each other. Dylan and I are both in great places in life so I hope this trip is nothing but [View Full Entry]
