The start of a brief summary of Bolivia

After Chile I entered Bolivia via the dessert on a three day jeep tour; the tour was amazing and I saw so many cool things there is just no way I can summarise in a few pictures. The same is true for the rest of Bolivia which I loved, such a cool country.

The other people were really cool on the tour so we had alot of fun

The Salar

We arrived in Uyuni and I bought a bus ticket to Tupiza, 8 hours, no problem I thought...

The bus

Road + rain + river = scary


Going through the river was pretty scary I have to say, we had to wait in the dessert a few hours for the river to go down... only a bit though... Bus broke down in some weird little town so had to sleep on the bus in the town square. Bolivia is cold! 8 hour bus journey ended in 26 hours



Got to Tupiza and booked a two day horsriding trip, probably should have thought more about the fact I had never ridden horses before. Tupiza is famous as it is where they filmed Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,

My horse was called Broncho and he prefered to gallop rather than walk...

They made me wear the hat!

It´s fair to say that I was pretty sore after two days on a horse. It was a lot of fun though.

The rest of Chile

As well as there being a volcano in Pucón, there are also some pretty amazing rivers that you can raft on. I was quite excitied about going rafting as I´ve never done it before. It was great fun. I fell in on a rapid and got thrown about under the water like I was in a washing machine. It was kind of scary but when I got back in the boat it was all ok. I managed to not pay for the pictures that were taken that day and get them off an Ozzie guy that was on the same raft as we which was a bit of a result as they cost about 15 quid...


The safety briefing, I´m not paying attention as it´s in Spanish

A little scared


pretty scaredStill in one piece

Happy endingAfter Pucón I spent about 36 hours in cars and buses on my way up to San Pedro De Atacama in the North of Chile. San Pedro De Atacama is supposedly the driest place on earth... I´m not entirely convinced by that but it definitely is hot and has alot of desert.

I think this place was called the valley of death



Some stupid guy got stuck

The Valley of the Moon was amazing


Another volcanoe


The sky changed colour alot in the 45 minutes we were here. Nick enjoying the view



The next day we went to a salt lake among a few other places. Good place to learn how to swim

Salty face
Stupid photos


I´ve done some pretty amazing trips since Chile so will try and get the pics up soon. I´m in Bolivia now which is an amazing place. Very very different to Chile and Argentina
