Hola We write this postcard from La Paz, but it is all about a town (and area) called Rurrenabaque. After an incredible flight from the altitude of La Paz, we reached the dusty, little jungle town Rurre and received a good dose of jungle heat! 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.

Our tickets ...

Not a lot here to be honest, but the town is nestled in the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a valley created by the Rio Grande. A very beatiful area with amazing rock formations and colours. The last few days have been spent wandering around the town and a half day trip to a little to...

Hola All, Well we left San Pedro (Chile) on a 12 hour bus ride over the Andes climbing to altitudes of around 4500m! They say it can take its toll and cause headaches and nausea and for one poor girl thats exactly what happened...she had to be administed oxygen.....and we all enjoyed the sounds of her throwing up.
