After a 7 hour bus ride that felt like 12, we finally arrived to Tupiza where we would, yet again, be meeting up with the awesome Loz and Dotes! We finally found the hostel and was stoked to see their faces again and once checked in we got ready for our little afternoon adventure of horse riding through the gorgeous rocky mountains of Bolivia. Once a company was found and prices were established we were given our cowboy hats and gaiters, we were on our way ...

We made friends with an Aussie couple (Dan and Gita) and a Scottish ranga (Craig) and we were all heading in the same direction and decided to travel together. We caught a mini bus/collectivo out of Villa Tunari and took a land speed record breaking trip back to Cochabamba.

So we made the difficult decision to can that idea, which was not as easy as writing it. We will definately make it back there one day! So in need of another destination for the festival we found it in Bolivia in Oruro. We're told that it is the second largest celebration of Carnavale to Rio and given that we p...
