After my work in El Tumbador I had to take an airplane for going from Puerto Suarez (150 meters over the sea level) to La Paz (which its airport El Alto is at 4200 meters), although I did not feel bad, every litlle movement I had to do was a harder challenge for me, so going upstairs seven floors i…

So from Puno we took the short bus trip to the Peruvian /  Bolivian border.  WE left Puno early the day after we got back from Lake Titticaca. After an easy border crossing we were back travelling again this time on a smaller mini bus that was to take us to our first Destination in Boliva…

Today I’ve arranged a full day tour with Fremen USD127.  For that I get a driver and an English-speaking guide, can go at my own pace without holding anyone up and ask as many questions as I like.  The guide is Carlos and the driver David.  When we go outside I see that they’ve b…

I´m spending around 1 year in South America, I had an amazing time. Enjoy my pictures, I'd do it again.

We touched down in La Paz, Bolivia safely at just about dawn.  There was about an hour stop in La Paz to let passengers like my neighbor off the plane and to allow more passengers on who were flying to Santa Cruz.  I was able to look out the window to see the beautiful mountains outs…

A short trip to South America

Planning this great trip to Peru, Chile and Bolivia in september october of 2009. This is the concept outline, feel free to give advice.

In early 2007, my wife and I are travelling around the world over a six month period.

Hola amigos. as those of you who know me are already aware, brought down by the ennui of life in the UK and the NHS, we quit our miserable jobs and flew away for three months to see the wonders of Chile, Argentina, Bolivia and Peru. here's a few bits of our adventures. (i started this about a month into the trip but I'll try and write about the first few weeks retrospectively.)

Traveling to Peru in 2006: Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Puno, Lake Titikaka. And Bolivia: La Paz, Coroico

die fahrt von sucre ueber potosi (sonntag nachmittag, 4h), oruro (montag vormittag, 6h) bis nach la paz (montag nachmittag, nochmals 4h) ist ziemlich anstrengend. allerdings sehen wir doch insbesonders von potosi nach la paz auch nochmal einiges vom land: zuerst super steile und tiefe canyons sowie…

We decided as our bus drove into La Paz that we were staying more than 1 night. It is an amazing city, built on the steep cliffs of a valley, the lowest point of the city being about 3600m above sea level. Most of the time you are walking on a steep up or downhill and the first few days s…

Saturday morning provided some down time to explore La Paz. (Sad to say, I can't locate the La Paz negatives, and therefore have no photos to show!) By afternoon, it was time to head for the airport for our Iberia flight to Santiago. Hotel Carrera.

Saadan er min hverdag naar jeg ikke rejser rundt i Bolivia eller ligger paa hospitalet- Jeg er som regel lidt doven i det om morgenen, saa jeg sover saa laenge jeg kan, isaer fordi det bliver frysende koldt paa mit vaerelse naar det regner og det goer det meget af tiden i La Paz for tiden. Saa…

La Paz is aroun 3,900masl and i swear some of the steep hills make it seem like you have to climb another 1,000m! The city is a hustling, bustling, crazy place with cars and people narrowly missing each other on every street while the little micro buses whizz bus with people screaming their destina…
