The road from La Paz to Coroico is known as The World's most Dangerous Road. This probably isn't strictly the case anymore, however. It is a narrow road that descends 3600 metres over a distance of 64 km, winding round hairpin bends with 600m drops at some points. But these days, the only traffic on the road is mountain bikers and their support vehicles. It may not be the world's most dangerous road anymore, but it must certainly be one of the world's most amazing roads and bike rides! When we set off there was snow on the ground. When we [View Full Entry]

Z La paz jsme vyrazili na puvodne 3 denni prochazku El Choro, ktera zacina v Cumbre nedaleko La Paz a konci ve vesnici kousek od Coroica. Trochu jsme si to protahli, takze jsme nakonec sli 5-6 dni :) Trek zacinal stoupanim do asi 5100 m.n.m. - krasny vyhled, laguny a malo kysliku. Clovek si musi davat pozor a odpocivat po chvilkach. Pak jsme sli sesupem dolu a spali v prvnim "kempu". Byly to Inkske ruiny. Vsude kolem hromada Lam. Dalsi den nas zastihl maly destik, ale nakonec jsme dorazili do dalsiho kempu. Krajina se pomalu menila a pomalu na nas vykukovaly [View Full Entry]

Monday After being told so much about this place from our boss, Irena, at the hostel we decided it must be worth a visit with all the animals that were there. Four different species of monkey, Makaws, turtles and a bear. These animals aren´t in captivity, even though it may seem that way in some of the photos, they have all been rescued from domestic situations where they were either treated cruely or were not safe to keep. My main worry was the fact that the only way of getting there was down a road that people in La Paz call [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Well this is the last of Bolivia so i hope you are all patient with me. I will catch up! Anyway the last trip was hiking this one is biking. La paz is the other capital of Bolivia but not official and it is a great looking city. It is in a bowl and the houses spread up the sides. They are really colourful and i think it looks great. The city is like all cities, busy, and it looks very modern so not really much to say about it. There are small streets with lots of small shops [View Full Entry]

So last catch up and then I´m thru...This story will be about the period (more or less) april 1 to may 7 . From Cusco,Peru to Yolosa,Bolivia (29 march to 24 april, mas o menos) As u understood, or not, as Tova had only 3 weeks for the whole trip,we had to get to Cusco, Peru very quickly, which made me skip Tony´s house in Bolivia. So after 2 weeks in Cusco I returned back to La Paz, Bolivia, to continue to Yolosa,where the house is. This meant: 1 15 hours terible night bus, with border crossing where they started to [View Full Entry]

Hola Hola! Hier maar weer een berichtje vanaf het zuidelijk halfrond. Inmiddels bevinden we ons al weer lang en breed in Peru en banen ons een weg door dit enorme land met zon, zee, strand, woestijn, jungle en bergen naar het noorden. Kortom alles wat een backpacker en mens maar kan wensen. Voordat ik me uitwijdt over dit land eerst terug naar Bolivia. Op aanraden van een Pools stel reisden we per trein met een gangetje van 50km/uur door de nacht naar Tupiza in het zuiden. In de wachtkamer van het station hadden we kennis gemaakt met een sympathiek gezelschap. Namelijk [View Full Entry]

So I tried to wake up at 5 am yesterday but my alarm clock failed me... sort of... and i missed my bike ride!!! AHHHHHH!! I was so bummed about having to do the same old same old in la paz for another day but decided to bust out my lonely planet and make the most of it. As backpacker luck would have it I met an Ausi, Dave, at breakfast who´s fight had been canceled that day as well. So we decided to venture together!! Totally cool day. We hopped on a local bus and took it out of town, [View Full Entry]

So, last heard of, only 10 days ago, we were in Uyuni, having done the salt flats tour. We arrived there on a Saturday and unfortunately the cash point wasn´t working and the cash advance place wasn´t open. We had a fair amount of cash - about 30 pounds, but that wasn´t enough to buy four bus tickets to La Paz and food, and we were pretty hungry so we decided to hole up until Monday. Uyuni isn´t the most exciting place on the planet, but it is pleasant enough. There wasn´t a lot to do apart from wash clothes, eat [View Full Entry]

First i think an appology is due.... we have been utterly hopeless at this blog recently and to be honest, we dont really have an adequate excuse! Since february 26th we have been staying at an animal sanctuary called la senda verde (www.sendaverde.com) and it really has been the most amazing experience. its a relief to unpack our bags and settle into out lovely blue cabin. So much has been going on that its hard to know where to begin... i guess i could start at rattle snake soup! The day before yesterday a 1.5 mtr rattlesnake was found basking on [View Full Entry]
