  • Hola todos! So on the way to Córdoba i stopped at a sleepy little place called Termas de Río Hondo, this place is a little hot springs town halfway between there and Salta. I decided to spend 2 nights here to see what the place was like. I get there after the 7 hour bus…

  • Hola todos! We made it to Salta at last! Salta is a very nice place but before we talk about that it’s probably worth a quick word on what the next moves are as we are now heading into the final chapter of this mad Journey to Patagonia.  What are the next moves from here…

  • Hola todos! This one covers off the final leg on the 4 day push to Salta from Sucré. After the long day getting into Argentina I decided to have a little lie in before getting on the road to Salta again. Before I checked in I bought a ticket for the 11.30 bus to Salta…

  • Hola todos! After the brief stay in Uyuni we carried on to Argentina as planned the next day. As mentioned it was another early start to get the bus to the border town of Villazon to cross into Argentina.  I had originally planned to get up at 0500 but was up since 0330 as someone…

  • Hola todos! Its been a few days since I crossed into Argentina, I had been moving quite fast since we left Sucré and haven’t had the downtime to keep up on this blog, so as per usual when we finish a chapter here is the post Mortem on Peru and Bolivia. As per usual I…

  • Hola todos! Been a while hasn’t it? I am currently in Termas de río Hondo making my way to Central Argentina. Have been moving fast since we left Sucré and as such playing catch up on the blog once again. For today’s installment I will run you through the detour to Uyuni and the tour…

  • Hola todos, todays blog will be about another little collectivo excursion I did with my pal @not.the.real.ed.sheeran. This time we went about 30 minutes south out of Sucré to a little place called Castillo Glorieta. This place despite its name is not a real castle, remember there is only 1 true castle in Latin America…

  • Hola todos and Happy Easter Sunday desde Sucré, the *true* capital of Bolivia! After we left off in Potosí I decided to make my visit there short and get on over to Sucré, several reasons for this, firstly my mate who’s not Ed Sheeran was also headed there and there was a good chance for…

  • Watch on IG: Watch on TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRX52ah5 Hola todos! Today’s was en exciting if bizarre little excursion with my pal who is totally not Ed Sheeran. We took a trip up to Parque Cretácico, a dinosaur themed park which, if it is true there is a wall there with preserved dinosaur footprints from 68 million…

  • Hola todos! As I write this today I am chilling in Beautiful Sucre, however before I got there I spent a day in Potosí, the famous or rather infamous oxygen deprived mining boom town which at one point had been one of the largest cities in the world rivalling London or Paris in the 17th…
