We have been in Bolivia for a week now and its been an amazing experience so far. We ended our time in Argentina with a suitably large fillet steak and bottle of red wine (neither disappointed!) and caught the bus to La Quiaca. We arrived at 7am and walked over the border to Villazon immediately. It was amazing to see the difference in countries straight away, even after the shortest walk across the bridge!
