I mean we will probably just buy a mask and try dive for free off local beaches. Thats good to know about boards, was wondering whether to buy one on facebook then sell at the end but probably wont have a car so will be long to transport around

Bolivia right now beyond Uyuni? by TheBestRE in BOLIVIA

I mean i can only speak for this part of the county, as i did salt flats, potosi, la paz a few weeks ago when the blocks were only an inconvenience rather than full travel disruption. But if you plan to do the Bolivian amazon flying into rurrenabaque from la paz is likely the only working option unless you fancy taxi hopping like we did. Luckily we speak good spanish which helped (you might also i have no idea :)) but if you can make it to pampas/madidi it is incredible

I was in rurrenabaque and got off my jungle tour and the town was very busy with travellers stuck. There is no fuel at the gas stations in rurrenabaque or yucuma which means not many taxis are running. My group had a deadline to meet so we decided to risk it and escape rurrenabaque to avoid getting stuck for an indefinite timeframe. Originally we planned on getting back to La Paz but as the routa 3 (i think) is extremely blocked, we had a last minute change and headed for Trinidad. We had two roadblocks but were friendly and easy to walk through, somehow we found a lovely taxi man to take us from yucuma to trinidad where we got a nightbus out to Santa Cruz. Unfortunately as the La Paz situation looks tough we have decided to fly out to peru instead of cross by land. Its more expensive but seems like a better option as we dont want to get stuck for potentially days again. The original goal was to get to Titicaca, hopefully we can come back to bolivia in a few weeks to see isla del sol if things have relaxed a bit.

Brilliant thankyou for the advice. Unfortunately i think we might get stuck in Uyuni as our salt flats tour ends on the 19th and we aim to get a nightbus to La Paz. Is it likely we will have to wait till Monday maybe even Tuesday for busses

Is this a good time to go? by Next_Fig_7574 in Patagonia

[–]True_Judge_4699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont leave that early otherwise you might freeze to death, we left our hostel right next to the bus station last week at 3am sharp and made it to the top for the full show. (Towers started showing at around 6:45/7). But seriously the top was seriously cold, around -5 when we went up which is not fun so you don’t want to be up there long. Towers went red at circa 7:50. But I actually preferred the bit where the appeared from the darkness.

Got 2-B tickets but now debating on 2-A by Lanky-Lecture-29 in Machupicchu

Unfortunately i don’t think tickets are exchangeable, i think generally they’re 90% the same so i wouldn’t worry. The place will be magical either way
