A young Canadian travel and customer at Wide World recently send out this email. We love how she captures the excitement of her many adventures in Bolivia and think you will too. Enjoy!

Hola,

Well we have been in Bolivia for about a week now and it just keeps getting better!

We crossed the border from Argentina at 5am and had to wait till 7 for the Bolivia side to open, other than that it was a fairly painless border crossing; especially since I got in for free and the American chicas had to pay $160. From the border we hopped straight on a bus going to Tupiza, a small town we used as a transfer point to Uyuni. In Tupiza we had 9 hours to wait until our 6 hour train ride to Uyuni. We spent most of our waiting time hiding out from the cold in a tourist cafe and also took an afternoon nap in the setting sun in a canyon about a half hour walk away (we were once again suffering from a night-bus sleep). The train to Uyuni was a very nice change, although I was disappointed that it was a night train and so we weren´t able to see any of the scenery. (more…)
