This blog will be an attempt to record my travels in South America this year. I’m spending 6 weeks in Argentina, Bolivia and Peru – finishing with a trek to Machu Picchu. This will be the furthest I’ve flown, but I will be met by a friendly face – because Katy’s already out there! We’ll be travelling together before we part company in Lima and she flies on to Colombia.
What am I looking forward to? Jungle, desert, surf, salt flats, volcanoes, glaciers and Inca ruins. And probably a few llamas. Hosteling will be a new experience too (I imagine it’s a bit different from the Lake District YHA experiences of my teens…) Also trekking, trains, long-distance buses and reed boats. I’ll be going up high too – the Salar de Uyuni salt flats are 3650 meters above sea level, and Apacheta pass in the Andes is at 4590m. I hope we’re both fit enough for the challenge!
Just as a taster – here’s someone else’s pictures of the places we aim to visit
I can’t wait! (Now all I’ve got to do is pack…)
Hola mi amigos, como estas. Sounds like you are having a great time and amazing that you have managed to juggle the itinary to see those extra places. Enjoy the rest of the trip. Hasta Luego. Keith
