Hello everyone,

we want to go from La Paz to Uyuni, do a 2 or 3 day tour on the salt flats, go to Potosi and then finally end in Sucre.

We are not sure, how to get to all these places, because we don't have much time (5 nights and 6 days). Perhaps you have some information for us, how we could manage this tour.

We were reading about a nightbus from La Paz to Uyuni. How is the street? Could anyone sleep on that bus?

Can we book the Bus from Uyuni to Potosi online? Or only at Uyuni?

Did anyone go from Potosi to Sucre by Taxi? How expensive is it?

Thank you all for your help.

Greetings from Copacabana (Lake Titicaca)

Hi guys, it’s my girlfriends birthday in a week and we’ve been staying in hostels for our travels but I’d love to book something nicer for her. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any jungle lodge type places in the Peruvian Amazon/Colombia that I could book for a couple of nights for her birthday?
