Express Stop In Isla Del Sol
Bolivia
My time on Isla Del Sol was unfortunately very limited as I was on a tight schedule to meet up with friends in Cusco due to the delays on my flight to Rurrenabaque. An afternoon is all I could do and I regret not staying longer as the place had a great charm.  The Lake Titicaca on the Bolivi... read more »

A Break From The Altitude In The Pampas
Bolivia
While the south of Bolivia is located in the Andes mountain range with peaks up to 6000m and cities at high altitudes, the north is a flat land covered by pampas and jungle, a few hundred meters above sea level. The town of Rurrenabaque is the starting point of many tours in this region. It is the gate to the famous Madidi National Park, although I didn't have time to visit this one. My ... read more »

Short Of Breath In La Paz
Bolivia

From one side to another you're only seeing a wall of small orange-brick houses. At night, this transforms in a beautiful wall of light. You'll definitely walk slowly as the altitude, the constant up and down hill and ... read more »

Potosi, Sucre And Getting Folkloric In Tarabuco
Bolivia
First night in a Bolivian city in Potosi. Far from being as bad as I had read, it has a vibrant center with a lot of colonial buildings. The difference with Chile is still very impressive, Bolivia being a much poorer country. I did not visit the mines which is the principal tourist attraction but the experience seems like a very original thing to do. 
There are a few ways to go to Bolivia from San Pedro de Atacama by bus. The less terrible would be through Argentina but it is a massive detour. Fortunately there's also a much more beautiful and impressive path: a three days jeep ride through the mountains and the Salar de Uyuni. The trip leaves early morning with a bus ride through Chilean immigration and to the Bolivian border which i... read more »
