Bolivia – Climbing a Mountain called Huayna Potosi
Hiking up huge mountains was never on our agenda when embarking on this trip. However its not everyday that at a bus terminal in La Paz, you randomly bump into a mate from Melbourne who convinces (well) one of us anyway to climb a mountain 6088m high.
Bolivia – La Paz and Star of India Curry House
We decided to dine out at the highest curry house in the world, 3600 metres high, which claims to have the hottest curry in South America. If you finish their hottest vindaloo you receive a free t-shirt, telling the world of your achievement. The free t-shirt was enough of a incentive for us to give it go. What a mistake that idea was…..
Bolivia – Salt Flats
Another very popular tour we took in Bolivia is a Salt Flats Tour. An overnight bus from La Paz to Uyuni is the best way to take this Tour, although look into train timetables because that can possibly work. Note that the roads in Bolivia are pretty, actually very ordinary and so the bus ride was a really bumpy one.
Bolivia – Lake Titicaca and Isle de Sol
From our amazing journey through Antarctica we flew north East to Bolivia. Those we knew who had been to South America (Nick Ockleshaw has been there, he may have told you that already though) told us that Bolivia is a must do country – heaps to do and really inexpensive.
