Crossing the Villazon-La Quiaca Border into Argentina

The train from Uyuni arrived at Villazon a little bit after 2pm. Outside the station I was offered a ride in a shared taxi to the border for 4 bolivianos.

Stuck Again in Uyuni, Bolivia

While looking for a bus to go to Sucre and Potosi, we found out that there was a roadblock preventing any buses from leaving town.

Salar De Uyuni and Reserva Nacional De Fauna Andina Eduardo Avaroa

This was on my top-5 list of places I wanted to visit in South America. Despite sleeping only 1 hour, I was thrilled to see it in person.

La Paz to Uyuni, the Bus Ride from Hell

After waiting for 2 days in vain for the roadblock around Potosi to end, I decided to go to Uyuni instead and try my luck at Potosi later on.

Stuck in La Paz, Bolivia

My first impression of La Paz this time was the same as the first time nine years before. The city is very hectic, which traffic and people everywhere.
