We arrived back in Sucre and I quickly brought a new iPhone charger and supplies before heading back to the hostel to rest. I was shown to a dorm room where I appeared to be the only occupant so I collapsed on the bed and relaxed. The next day I decided to head to Samaipata […]
I decided to do the hike with Cóndor Trekkers, a charity that organises hikes in the local area and supports local communities that also runs a vegetarian cafe. Again you can hike the trails yourself but they are not so clearly marked on the maps. I awoke against early, if I can’t handle early mornings […]
I had one more evening and day in Cochabamba after the trip back from Torotoro. I met with Paula one last time for a fried chicken dinner and went back to the hostel for an early night. The next day I awoke early, repacked again for the fourth time that week and lost some more […]
Reluctantly with my DSLR out of action I decided to head to Torotoro. This page might take a little while to load as the photos are different. Anyways at the time I had wasted two days, having fun but not really achieving much, in Cochabamba trying to find a solution and having booked a flight […]
I awoke early in La Paz and decided to try and not wake the French girls in my room, failing miserably, and headed up to the restaurant of the hostel. Say what you want about the party hostel that is Loki La Paz, but they do a decent breakfast. I resisted the urge for a […]
I jumped in the colectivo my guide from the El Choro trek flagged down for me and we wound our way up the mountain until I reached the small village of Coroico. It seems to be primarily a holiday destination for Bolivians set in beautiful jungle surroundings and a perfect place to escape the cold […]
I’m hoping that Julia will be proud of me for getting up for the sun rise. After a quick breakfast we left the camp just before 7am to complete the final 16 kilometres. It was cloudier on the third day and really warm. It made for interesting pictures as the Sun was rising and the […]
I awoke after a freezing night in the tent to a bright sunny morning. I decided to stay in my sleeping bag until I heard people outside as it was still really cold. Breakfast was a awaiting me as I got out the tent and again I just needed to sort myself out. I went […]
When I first read about the El Choro Trek I immediately wanted to hike the length. It’s a three day trek which starts an hour out of La Paz, and coincidently where the Death Road tours begin. Starting at 4600 metres, you actually hike up to 4800 and then the rest is mostly down hill […]
I spent 5 weeks volunteering at La Paz Zoológico with Upclose Bolivia and you can read more about my experience living in La Paz here. In this post I will just be talking about the zoo as I have a tonne of animal pictures. I’m also gonna say that the zoo does really good work, […]
