Arrived in Potosi, which is 4100m above sea level. Jack was stuck down with altitude sickness, luckily I managed to escape it, although did struggle to breathe whilst strolling around the town. Not much going on in Potosi so Jack spent 2 days in bed, the hostel gave him tea with coca leaves in which helped a bit. On our last day we did a mining tour, where we got to buy dynamite, coca leaves & 96% pure alcohol to give as presents to the miners. We spent 1...

We got a night bus from Santa Cruz to Sucre, the bus was like a 1970s run down school bus but I suppose you cant really complain when you pay £6 for a 15 hour journey. Arrived in Sucre at 7am, went to our hostel where we spent one night before starting our week long Spanish lessons. We had to be up bright and early as lessons started at 8:30am and lasted 4 hours each day. After our first lesson we got to meet the family who we were staying with, dropped our...

We got a night bus from Iguazu to Buenos Aires and then hopped on a flight to Santa Cruz. Arrived at 3am and got a taxi to our hostel and went to bed.

We had a walk around the town and spent the next few days chilling at the h...

We made the gruelling 30 hour bus journey, not something we wish to do again in a hurry. Got a taxi to the hostel and chillaxed for the day. The following day we went to the national park to see the waterfalls. Got on a speed boat which took us to the bottom of the falls, I was was scared for my life, Jack loved every minute, we got drenched by the massive waves and a chinese man nearly went over board trying to take too many photos. We dried off and then went...

Woke up early to book our bus tickets to Iguazu Falls. We then decided to go to the hotsprings spa which is located in the Andes mountains. Juan, the owner of our hostel arranged for a car to take us there. When we arrived we collected our robes and went to the water pools. There was a mixture of temperatures ranging from really hot (could only stay in there for a few minutes) to ice cold, Jack got in but I wasn't as brave! We had lunch at the spa restaurant ...
