So we arrived to La Paz a day early, and what a city it is, it´s so different to everything I´ve seen on this trip so far. I guess some might find it a bit intimidating, especially the amount of people and traffic, but now that I´ve gotten used to it ... Read more >

It´s a nice place, a bit cold during the nights, but what do you expect when you´re at 3300 meters above sea level during the winter. The first 2 days have been nice and sunny. The city is beautifull, full of life and full of sights. Haven´t been able ... Read more >

A Fine or a Bribe is there a difference? As I mentioned in my last post we didn´t get entry stamps going into Paraguay as the buss just drove trough the borders, looks like they care more about people exiting the country near Asuncion... Anyway as we ... Read more >
