In Review: 11 Days of Backpacking in Bolivia

Places I visited, spending summary, favorites and not so favorites, and my best pictures of Bolivia.

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.
