La Paz is the highest city in the world located at over 4000 metres above sea level. Nestled amongst two very large mountains, houses stretch for miles up to the very top peaks; which also makes you wonder how they are balanced on the steep cliff sides when you are looking up at them. Altitude is still a killer here and as you are basically always on a hill you always seem out of breath and tired; There's no getting away from it and the trick is to walk at a snai...

The Bolivian tour can only be described as breath taking! We have never seen landscapes and scenery as beautiful as this and we highly recommend it.

We eventually r...

The guidebook said great things about Arica, and although it didn't really live up to it we still had a lovely time here! Arica is known as the 'town of never ending spring' due to it bring continuously sunny with very little rain. The guide book also promised lots of nice beaches, surfing and fishing so we had high hopes that this would be an excellent relaxation point. Aricas beaches were not particulary great, being a little dirty in places and sometimes the w...
