SW Bolivia - Part 1 - Camino San Antonio

We commit to spending a little over a week in Bolivia’s far SW corner. Starting at the regional town of Tupiza, we climb quickly to over 4,200m as we head West through rugged mountain passes and even more rugged little villages (and people) who survive largely on Llama farming. This is where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid met their end. We remain at between 4,200 - 5,000m, with not too distant peaks as high as 6,000m. It’s cold during the day and really cold at night. But still plenty of flamingos (no, they can’t walk on water - the lakes are mostly frozen).Les mer
