Salar de Uyuni Trip: Day 1

The trip we had booked was leaving at 9am. We had elected not to book an English-speaking guide as it cost more, and since the other two people they had told us were coming on the trip had not booked one, we would probably have to pay double to cover the costs alone; the other two were...

Skint!

The train journey to Tupiza was quite pleasant, with lots of nice, but dry, scenery on the way. This southern part of Bolivia is so dusty that we needed to keep the windows of the train shut to avoid getting grit in our mouths and eyes. Joanne was looking forward to leaving her contact lenses...

Goodbye Argentina, Hello Bolivia!

We caught quite an early bus from Humahuaca to make sure that we would not miss the train from the border to Tupiza; Bolivia has actually kept its trains, rather than letting all that investment go to waste in pursuit of the car and the American Dream, as the rest of South America appears to...

And the summit attempt.....

I"m awoken, well not really awoken, since sleep never came. The only thing that truly did was the howling of the wind and the iciness in my toes as I lay in my thin sleeping-bag, trying at every moment to sleep and get comfortable. Well, yeah...that didnt exactly happen. The two Chinsee guys...

The beginning of the climb

So I walk out of the hotel at 850 sharp. I briskly walk to the agency to meet the manager at 9 am sharp, so he told me yesterday. I stand out front of the agency, its closed. So closed that iron gates are still holding tight to the ground in front on the door. 905 hits. Where the hell is this...

Conquering the Mountain

I had shopped around town for a bit. The word on the street was that there existed this god-like mountain called Huyana Potosi. The mountain was 6088 meters and supposedly, one of the easiest 6000+ mountains in the world. Sonce Ive been a kid I have always gotten altitude sickness, but...

Lake Titticaca and then the Craziness of La Paz

I arrived at Lake Titticaca after an exhausting border crossing. I had to get about 6 different papers and stamps, a couple of pat downs by Bolivian Officers, and of course the 134 dollar enterance fee for U.S. citizens. but hey I"m not involved: the U.S. charges these poor Bolivians to enter...

Arrequippa for some peace and quiet

Well, after some long-haired, large-mouthed Austraians recomended me to stay in this hostel in Arrequippa, I made it. Arrequippa is known as canyon country. Everyone in the United States thinks that the Grand Canyon is the largest in the world. Well, it is the widest, but not the deepest....
