Adam, Charlene, Stuart and I caught a night bus to Sucre from La Paz. It arrived at about 7.30am so we didn't bother booking accommodation ahead. We caught a taxi to the central square (known as the Plaza de Armas in Peru and the Plaza de Mayo in Bolivia) and Charlene and I dumped the other 2 with the rucksacks whilst we went in search of somewhere decent to stay. The Lonely Planet warned us that Sucre is full of very nice but expensive hostels and hotels so...

Our initial plan had been to visit the Amazon in Peru…however, that trip is VERY expensive and we were never quite sure how we would afford it! Then, whilst travelling through Peru we met a number of people who were travelling up through South America and had already travelled through Bolivia.

After a bit...

Having arrived in Copacabana we all made our way up the steep hill to our first hostel. We were all tired so decided to get to the rooms and then go and book our second nights accommodation and find some food! We went to a couple of places and had a look at the the rooms before booking as this seems a good way to do it. We went for a hotel overlooking the lake, not bad value either. We found a nice restaurant and enjoyed some nice fresh smoked trout that was ca...
