Days 20 - 22 - Final day in La Paz then a 12 hour night bus to the administrative capital, Sucre! Shattered and really needing a good full day in bed to recuperate we dragged ourselves out of bed and packed as check out from our cosy room was needed, tonight was a night bus! Slowly we looked around the vibrant capital La Paz. It was a wicked place, one I think you either love or hate but for us the bustling nature and people watching was fun. I for some reason ha...

DAY 20 - BIKING DOWN THE MOST DANGEROUS ROAD IN THE WORLD.....GULP!! The infamous Death Road! Hearing the alarm the next morning I automatically pressed snooze but was woken 2 mins later by Bilynda our tour leader saying where are you?

Packing a rucksack with stuff we thought we needed fo...

Days 17 & 18 - The Floating Reed Islands of the Uros Indians on Lake Titicaca and our Homestay with a local family of Ayamara Indians on Amantani Island!

Weird how it can hit you one day and not the next, not the best feeling sometimes! Anyway after breakfast we hilariously boarded the two seater local cyclo's and in line travelled...

Day 15 - Onwards to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world at an altitude of 3820m! Today saw us boarding the local bus onwards to Puno where upon we would be undertaking Ads & Ian's most favourite part of the trip, a local family homestay where they dressed us up in traditional costume and took us dancing!!! Wahoo! The scenery on route from Cuzco was beautiful, winding valleys of beautiful autumn colour farming terraces ...
