Bolivia by a Bolivian

Hi Im Iris and im bolivian!!!!
This is the most beautiful country!!!! you have so many different variety of views that will really surprise you.

We have de Salt flats (but thats no all) after viewinf the salt flats we have 3 great lakes one is withe the other red and other green, two of them full of flamengos, and o course hot natural water in a very desert view.

Thats in Potosi, but also you can visit the city of Potosi (please have lucnh at lunch time because ohterwise you will not find food) this is the 15 century minning town and still is (all from the same mountain) it has a lot of churches and it is very colonial ( you can visit it in arounf 38 hours is small) close by 4 hour in bus is Sucre, colonial city beautiful with palaces and also dino tracks...... for real.

Then you have La Paz cosmopolitan city caotic and great!!!!! (its my home town) can u tell? hahaha.

In the departmen you have the gret Titicaca lake with the great Isla del Sol worth a lifetime see it.

The you have coroico (you can go down by bicycle) this is well know as the death road (now there is a nice road for cars). Its a subtropical place with high green mountains.

You can also fly from la paz to rurrenabaque (amazing town in BENI) and see the jungle or go by river 3 days beautiful for real!!!!!!!!

If you want more info please contact me i know a lot of places where the service is good (you have to be careful because sometimes turist offices offers you things nd ends up feeding you yougurt for 3 days),

Hi Iris,
welcome to the site! Bolivia is indeed incredibly beautiful and diverse, I loved it when I was there.

Poor but snappy

The more I learn, the more I'm thinking Bolivia may be my next home.

I never made the trip to Santa Cruz- other life stuff delayed the trip there. I'm hoping to be there mid-November.

Iris- can you post a link to any site that advertises cars/trucks for sale in Santa Cruz? I know is not your home town, but I am having a terrible time finding the cost of trucks there. I think I need to buy a 4X4 pickup...

Before you throw me out, make sure I pay my bar tab
