After a long beautiful drive through the desert, we arrived in the small town of Uyuni, late afternoon. We were unsurprisingly disappointed: Uyuni is a poor town that survives solely on tourism and salt production. It is swept by strong winds throughout the year, making it very dusty and polluted with rubbish. There is no…

Cette seconde journee du tour fut probablement la plus chargee. Elle commenca par un reveil tres matinal pour aller dire bonjour a des lamas regroupes dans un corral. Les animaux etant regroupes ainsi la nuit afin de les proteger des pumas qui descendent de la montagne a la recherche de nourriture. Puis non loin de…

We decided to do the Uyuni Salar tour from Tupiza, instead of Uyuni, because we had heard Tupiza was worth the detour and the tours would be cheaper from there. We arrived from Sucre at 3AM and were planning on sleeping at the bus station until morning. But we were soon offered a cheap hostel…

Suite a notre volontariat dans la jungle a l’est de la Bolivie, il a fallu un tres long voyage pour arriver a Sucre. Un taxi partage de 3h vers Santa Cruz, puis un bus de 15h pour arriver dans la capital administrative du pays. Apres avoir pris une belle chambre au Kultur Berlin, magnifique hostel…

We hadn’t initially planned on doing any volunteering, having such a tight schedule, and not really knowing how to go about finding a project.

Notre choix de nous arreter a Cochabamba a grandement ete influence par l’envie de visiter ce parc naturel. C’est en lisant des blogs de voyages que j’ai appris l’existence de ce parc un peu en dehors des sentiers battus. L’acces etant un peu delicat le parc n’est pas encore innonde de touristes malgre son canyon…

We just passed through La Paz, Bolivia’s capital city, between 2 buses on our way to Cochabamba, having to catch up some time. In the few hours we spent in La Paz, it seemed like quite a vibrant city, rich in culture and street art, with people outside everywhere, very involded in their neighbourhood activities….

Depuis Cusco, nous avons decide de partir directement vers Copacabana en Bolivie, et donc de passer toute la partie Peruvienne du legendaire lac Titicaca. Decision prise sur les conseils de nombreux voyageurs rencontres au fur et a mesure de nos peregrinations. Le cote Bolivien s’averant plus authentique et sympathique (un fait qui s’applique generalement a…
