And just like that this tour is a wrap! Saturday we cruised the altiplano from Oruro to La Paz, checked out the witches market and coca museum and then went for a ride on the cable cars. Sunday was a battle to stay warm and dry as we reached an elevation of 4,700m (15,500 ft) before plunging down the infamous death road before circling back to La Paz on the new highway. Thanks Joe for riding with us, look forward to riding with you again on another tour.

The last 3 days have literally flown by. We rode the twisties from Potosí to Uyuni, spent the day playing on the salt flats and today we started our trek north, steadily gaining ground on La Paz and Death Road.

To celebrate the new year we started a new tour and our friend Joe from Canada came to join us. Our destination is La Paz but we’re taking the scenic route to get there. After 2 days of riding we’ve made it to Sucre and then on to Potosí where we welcomed in the new year. Today we set our sights on Uyuni, the town that sits on the edge of the world’s largest salt flats. There will be plenty more to come in the next few days.

Our friends John and Lili who live in Vietnam were in Bolivia for a short time and contacted us about doing a 3-day tour. We provided them with a few options and they ultimately decided on the option that starts in Uyuni and ends in the beautiful city of Sucre. Even though our days were limited we still squeezed in as much as possible. Highlights included.riding the Uyuni salt flats, the fauna as we ride from Uyuni to Potosí, taking a tour of an active mind in Potosí and quite literally the entire city of Sucre. Thanks John and Lili for a great tour and best wishes as you travel back to Vietnam.

Our 17-day “the sky’s the limit” tour has flown by way too fast, our friend Peter has arrived comfortably back home and we’re only left with making one last post to wrap up the tour. From Potosí we made the short ride to Sucre where we visited a museum, gorged on some of the best cuisine in Bolivia, visited the market, cemetery and a couple parks. The following day we cruised the new(ish) tarmac to Aiquile, the village where the annual “International Charango Festival” takes place. On our last day on the bikes we rode from Aiquile to our base just outside of Santa Cruz where our journey began, soaking up the warm sunshine after having ridden much of the tour in the cool altiplano. A big thanks goes out to Peter for making this tour memorable, it was a pleasure showing you around this amazing country!

Time flies when you’re having fun and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing! From La Paz we rode to Oruro, tried out their cable cars and learned about the 4 plagues that that affected the native people of that area. Next we rode to Uyuni, checked out the old train cemetery and rode the worlds largest salt flats. The temps were low but we had a great time cruising the flats and taking some fun pics. From Uyuni we made tracks to Potosí via one of the best (& twistiest) highways in the entire country. After visiting the old mint and taking a tour deep into a working mine, we spent the afternoon resting. Tomorrow we ride to Sucre, Bolivia’s other capital city.

Catch up time as we’ve had 3 more days on the bikes. From Quime we cruised across the altiplano, fought through the traffic of El Alto, arriving to our hotel in the center of La Paz. Peter wanted to make sure we rode the cable cars, so we spent the afternoon getting to know the cities from the air. Friday we were blessed with amazing weather as we traversed “Death Road” from top to bottom. We spent the night in the tropics just outside the town of Coroico. Today was a short riding day, we took the “new” highway back to La Paz to spend the afternoon resting. Tomorrow we begin our trek south.

Our new friend Peter from the U.K. arrived Sunday to join us on our 17-day “the sky’s the limit” tour. Monday we started off the day with some off-road practice before talking the old highway to Samaipata. Tuesday we traversed nearly 400 kilometers of twisty mountain roads on our way to Cochabamba, the city known for being Bolivia’s culinary capital. Today after having some issues getting fuel, we made the climb from Cochabamba up to Bolivia’s “altiplano.” From there we took a lesser known road to the village of Quime, reaching an elevation of 15,500 feet (4,700+ meters). The adventure continues tomorrow!
