Bolivia




  Bolivia was for me a marvellous discovery. I knew few things of it before starting this adventure but I will have a fabulous memory of it. Friends of nature will be pleased by a walk on the island of the sun to the lake Titicaca, another trek in the mountain of Sorata, an expedition in the savanna of Rurrenabaque and an amazing raid in the Salar of Uyuni. Cities of La Paz ( (I advise you to arrive there the evening, with the lights, it is magic), of Sucre and especially of Potosi (visit its mines!) are worth also the miles.
As for enthusiasts for big thrills, do not miss the descent of the death in mountain-bike towards Coroico.
. I have spent four weeks in this small paradise (perhaps a but cold though) but I could have stayed much longer

La Paz

A capital out of the habits with colorfull artisanal markets, a real prison to be visited, and a disappointing archeological site

Splendid landscapes of mountain (a treat for the hikers) and my favourite : the camp-site of Altai Oasis held by Johnny and Roxana…
