Our first stop was Bolivia. We took the only available flight with miles leaving from Rio and landed in Santa Cruz de La Sierra. This time we had no plan and we had no clue of what we would see. Then right at the airport bus we met a Turkish couple that was leaving in Samaipata, three hours from Santa Cruz, and we decided to share the transport with them to go there.
Samaipata is a small town surrounded by mountains full of hippies and countryside people. We had two relaxing days and a delightful guesthouse with garden.
We met a french couple, with whom we got a ride back to Santa Cruz. On the way and took the opportunity to visit a Inca fortress and a waterfall. The views were beautiful but the weather was not very good.
We weren’t very excited to visit Santa Cruz, but since we were there we decided to spend at least one night. The main square was nice but other then that there is nothing so interesting, but we’re lucky to be there right on the day of a music festival with several different instruments.
We left on a night bus to Sucre, a difficult decision to take because we heard so many stories of accidents on the mountain roads, 14 hours on a unpaved road, but in the end it was okay. Sucre enchanted us! A super charming colonial city and any stroll through its streets are very nice.
In our hostel we met a group of foreigners who were in town for weeks and that made us feel lazy and wanting to stay longer. We spent a good time with them, dinner, movie, ride to visit the castle in the town next door, night out and a lot of chat.
But today we are moving again towards the south. Tupiza here we go.
