Days 447 – 449: Some salty fun on the way out of Bolivia

We headed to the city of Uyuni for our last weekend in Bolivia as we intended to visit the famous salt flat nearby. Despite being the most touristy city in Bolivia, Uyuni was far from impressive. It was just as filthy as the rest of the country (Bolivia is keeping up with Peru in the […]

Days 436 – 446: Peru to Bolivia and its incredible cities

On Tuesday, October 2, we had a 2-hour ride from the town of Puno to the border crossing for Bolivia. We stopped on the way to take a look at Lake Titicaca, but we didn’t have a good viewpoint and just our cell phones so we didn’t the greatest picture. Boo hoo for us. Lake […]

Days 421 – 435: To Machu Picchu and beyond

Monday was a great day to visit the 15th-century Inca citadel that has countless numbers of foreigners visiting Peru for. We knew we would be going to Machu Picchu since the inception of this trip and after 420 days on the road, we made it. Yes, it is heavy on the tourist traffic; however, it […]

Days 414 – 420: A desert oasis and a bout of altitude sickness

After two weeks of dormancy, it was time to hit the road again. Next stop was in the city of Ica, around 4 hours from Lima. The plan was to visit the nearby Huacachina, Peru’s “oasis in the desert” that is around 5 kilometers away from where we stopped. Huacachina is a little village built […]

Days 397 – 413: Livin’ la vida Lima

Riding into Lima was, quite possibly, our most stressful arrival upon a city on this trip so far. I have ranted about Peruvian drivers being certifiably insane and Lima, being the capital city, seems to be a cesspool of the worst drivers imaginable. Not only did it seem like everyone on the road was trying […]

Days 393 – 396: Ecuador to Peru and the road to Lima

On Monday, August 20, we crossed the border from Ecuador into Peru. It was a bit long because we had to wait in a relatively slow-moving line on the Ecuador side, but the process itself was straight-forward. Details are on our Border Crossings page.   Our first impression of Peru was far from good, to […]

Days 381 – 392: A lake, two cities, and a border town

Upon hearing about the beautiful colonial city of Cuenca, we knew that this was one place we needed to visit before leaving Ecuador so, after spending a great week in Quito, we headed south. Since the road to Cuenca is an 8-hour ride, we split the journey into two trips with a stop in the […]

Days 373 – 380: Colombia to Ecuador and a week in Quito

On July 31, we bid farewell to magical Colombia and crossed the border into Ecuador. We used the Rumichaca border crossing, which was fairly straight-forward and fast at around an hour and 15 minutes. For details, refer to our border crossings page. Our first stop was in Ibarra, a charming little town around two hours […]
