Hello from Bolivia! Crossing the boarder was nowhere as scary as out guide made out or the tour books! I am in Potosi a the moment, a small silver mining city, waiting for my bus to Sucre. Spent a dusty but amazing 4 days in the desert and on the salt flat driving in 4 x 4s! Def a highlight of the trip so far. The landscape was stunning and the pictures I have really don´t reflect the beauty. The first day we spent a lot of time driving (pretty much ...

hello again.... Just got back from Lake Titicaca, a much needed relaxing couple of days! A 4 hour boat ride in the sun, with nothing to do but read, sunbath and take in the wonderful views..... Then onto a home stay, where we stayed with a lovely, local family in a little house on the top of a hill. We had dinner with our family of 6, Mother, Father and 2 girls and 2 boys. In the eve we headed for a little bit of traditional dancing in the traditional get u...

From there we went to the Nazca lines and took a tiny plane, for a rocky trip over the lines. The pilot kept taking his hands off the steering thing....yes both hand! He was using one to show us the lines and the...

Hey guys, I´ve just arrived in Nazca. I spent the first day and half in Lima between the down town area and Milaforas and in the eve met the rest of my group to talk about what we will be up to over the next couple of weeks. We had our first taster of Pisco Sours, a local brandy with Lime, Egg Whites and Sugar.....it tastes as nice as it sounds! Whilst on our stroll around Lima we were stopped by the police and asked to produce our passport and visitors pass....
