07/01 - 09/01 We stop in the middle of nowhere and get out of our jeep. The ground is lightly covered with water and the distant view only vaguely reveals the horizon. Around us...

Uyuni reminds me a bit of a town from a Wild West movie. The place is located in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing, and there is not much to do or see. The town...

From Cochabamba to Potosi, there were once again only night buses to choose from, at least if you wanted a decent bus that offered some comfort for the long journey. We woke up...

Respect for Pachamama

With a heavy heart, we say goodbye to Kathrin, who is still not well enough to accompany us due to her health, and we head to the bus to Uyuni. We have no high expectations for...

Due to a lot of rain, we couldn't do much in San Pedro de Atacama and quickly moved on to Bolivia. After a three-day tour over the Andean passes, we arrived in the salt flats of...

Through the Salar de Uyuni and the Eduardo Avaroa National Park from Bolivia to Chile

From La Paz we continue to Potosi, a former important mining town that still retains some of the old splendor and wealth of ancient times. The city is characterized by cerro...

In Oruro, the city in the heart of the Bolivian Altiplano, we met Luise and his crew. They run a hostel called 'graciela'. For the first time in our lives, we had the...
