Argentina > Bolivia

Today was a rather longer travel day as we crossed from Argentina to Bolivia, my 50th country!

We boarded the 9:15am bus from Tilcara to La Quiaca which sits just inside of the Argentinian border. At around lunchtime we crossed over the border on foot, somewhat delayed by the fact that all of Bolivian immigration were on their lunch break. Although we did gain an hour as the clocks went back!

After crossing the border we found a cash machine to withdraw some Bolivianos and then took a taxi to the bus station where we found a bus at 2:30pm to our final destination of Uyuni.

The views on this journey were stunning as we wound through the mountain passes whilst the sunset.

At around 8:15pm we arrived into Uyuni, found our hostel and picked up some egg, bread and water for 3 for the grant cost of about £1.80!

Ready to start a 2 day adventure on the Uyuni salt flats in the morning!Read more
