Salta The next day we transferred to a cheaper hostel and explored the city. Salta is a really nice little town with a beautiful town square and a modern mall. We found some cool little markets and bought some presents. The hostel had a cool vibe and we met some cool people. We spent the next...
The next day we caught a bus to Uyuni which is where the tours of the salt flats leave from. After a long and slow bus trip we arrived in Uyuni at about 6:30pm and checked into a cheap hotel. We walked the streets looking for a tour company but there was so many so it wasn’t an easy decision. We...
We got an overnight bus to Potosi (Bolivia) which was quite luxurious. Arrived at Potosi at about 5am and got a taxi to the Koala Den hostel. Potosi was once a booming silver mining town and its altitude of 4090m makes it one of the highest towns in world. It’s still a mining town but the money is...
The instant we crossed the border into Bolivia it was obvious were were now in a much less affluent country. The roads were in much poorer condition and everything was just that little bit more dilapidated. We arrived in the lake side town of Copa Cabana mid morning and checked into Hotel Mirrador...

Day 1 - Km 82 to HUAYLLABAMBA We were picked up from our hotel at 6:30am and met up with some of the other people in our group before hopping on a large bus. Our tour was a bit of a mixed bunch, everyone was pretty young and the group consisted of heaps of Argentinians, some Peruvians, some...
Julie and Farina were headed in the same direction as us, so together the 4 of us hopped on a bus headed for the Peruvian border. The border crossing was fairly uneventful and we arrived in Piura at about 9pm. It was a seriously dodgy place and we all felt unsafe. We had dinner at a dodgy Chinese...
Situated about 1000km off the coast of Ecuador and consisting of 15 islands, the Galapagos Islands are a truly unique and beautiful part of the world. They are home to a vast number of endemic species of plants and animals. Galapagos means saddle in ancient Spanish and the islands were given this...
