Hola folks, Today we head for a place called Puno in Peru which is also on Lake Titicaca, but firstly we will update you with what we have been up to since leaving La Paz. We caught a 4 hour tourist bus to destination Cocacabana which is a small village set on the shores of Lake Titicaca. The ride was pretty scenic and included crossing part of the lake with the bus on a boat that looked like it was going to sink under its weight! (check out the photo). Copaca...

Hola firends and family, Today we leave the bustling city of La Paz and jump on a 4 hour bus to Copacabana - Lake Titicaca where we are going to do some Island hopping and exploring. On Tuesday just gone we set out on the bike ride of our lives. The Death Road. It is 64kms long, descending from 4700m to 1200m on a very windy, narrow, dusty, rocky road that has a steep cliff on one side (the side we had to ride on) and huge trucks and buses flying around the cor...

Hola We write this postcard from La Paz, but it is all about a town (and area) called Rurrenabaque.

Rurre is the base for trips in to the jungle and an area called the Pampas, a marsh like area accessible only by the rivers and the home to an abundance of wild life. There were only four of us on the group - ourselves and ...

Hola chicos Well we left Potosi a few days back and headed to Uyuni, the base for excursions to the Salar de Uyuni, a very impressive salt flat and beautiful surrounding area. We took a 3 day (2 night) tour of the area which includes a rather hard seat in the back of a Toyota Landcruiser and a selection of interesting meals. But hey, we were?nt there for the food and comfort! The slat flats are incredible, over 12,000 square kilometres and 7 metres deep (pure ...

Hola chicos We now find ourselves in Potosi, at 4,000 metres apparently the highest town in the world (La Paz is the highest capital). Certainly high enough to induce a decent headache until the body adapts! We now realize how spoilt we were in Argentina - we caught an 11 hour bus from the border town (Villazon) to Potosi with all the locals and were a little sad when we didn?t receive the usual meal with wine as we received a few times in Argentina. Our tickets ...
