Quito was a pleasantly civilised city after the experiences of La Paz. A couple of days orientating to Quito which included a tour of the Old Town with it´s amazing Basilica (only begun in 1929) was rewarded with the city having a traffic free day where people were able cycle around unimpeded, though fortunately for me the excellent `Trolle` bus service was operating. An added bonus of that particular...

Sitting in the main square in Uyuni it has taken us a while to get here from La Paz. A few hours on a bus to Oruro first followed by a few more on a train to get where we are now.Oruro is an odd town large and surrounded by scrubland. Not too far from La Paz but already out on the fringes of civilisation. From here you had the feeling that you were on the edge of nowhere. Oruro is at the hea

There are times that the press lets stuff by that is simply breathtakingly stupid. Here they are eager to associate the present low water levels at Lake Titicaca with global warming causation while in the same sentence establishing that lower levels are historical in 1949 and obviously before. All they have established, besides their belief system is that there is a decadal cycle out there that impacts...

Coroico what a beautiful place. It reminded me very much of Mindo but definitely not as good as I am so very fond of Mindo. The cloud forest is probably one of my favourite places. It has the right climate beautiful scenery and enough life to keep my wildlife obsession happy This was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of La Paz the biggest city in Bolivia. Coroico is just a 3 hour bus r

Travelled north to Rurrenabaque, a small town downriver from the Amazon jungle. The journey, was an 18 hour bus journey on roads that can only be described as hazardous and at times hair raising.... Returning a week later I opted for the more expensive option (47 pounds, total, as opposed to 8 pounds on the bus) of flying back to La Paz, a flight of 35 minutes and worth every extra penny. Rurrenabaque...

Bolivia used their home advantage to claim another big scalp in South American World Cup qualifying as they beat Brazil 2-1 in La Paz. Back in April, Bolivia thrashed Argentina 6-1 as Diego Maradona's team could not cope with the 3,600 meters altitude, and have now ended Brazil's 11-game winning streak.
