We arrived in La Paz early in the morning and after putting all our stuff down at Wild Rovers Hostel we went for breakfast to this really cute vegetarian restaurant. We decided to have an easy and relaxed day of shopping after having done so much in the past few days non-stop. As it was a Sunday the entire city was filled with market stalls selling all varieties of items from toys to clothing and both Liv and I had lots of things in mind that we wanted to purch...

It was another early start for the highlight of our tour - Salar De Uyuni - the salt flats! We drove for miles through the flats which are the largest in the world at 12,000 km squared, which is absolutely massive. Vincent told us that often people get lost for days in the salt flats because compasses don't work there (due to mineral interaction) and they're so vast that unless you go with a guide who can decipher location due to the surrounding mountains then it...

We all hopped into the jeep and set off with our driver, Vincent, who turned out to be the best guide and friendliest chauffeur! Within minutes of setting off in the jeep I managed to completely humiliate myself in front of our new friends. We were told it was going...

We left for a 5 hour tour on horseback to see the stunning canyons of Tupiza. It genuinely felt like we were in an America Western, the wild Wild West, as we rode through absolutely spectacular surroundings of never ending canyons with cacti! I had never been on a horse before so was a little nervous to begin with (despite having ridden camels and elephants) but I soon got used to it and couldn't stop smiling with my cowboy sombrero on, riding in the sunshine thr...
