Bolivia 2018!

For the last three years, me and my friends have done a three weeks backpacking trip to different places inside the country. We save money all the second semester and work in December, and with that money we have already travelled to Chiloé, Puerto Varas/Cochamó and Valdivia/La Unión/Ranco. But this year we are planning something bigger. Much bigger. We want to go to Bolivia for a month, maybe pass to Peru or Brazil too, but the main objective is Bolivia.

We are still planning the itinerary, but it’s difficult because we have never done one, the other times we have went right to “the adventure”, without any plans or something like that, and only asking to the local people where to go. That has worked quite well so far, but now it’s different, because we don’t have the security of being in our own country, and we don’t know almost nothing about Bolivia and their culture. But well, there is the fun of the backpacking trips; nothing is certain, you are constantly surprising yourself with new things that appears spontaneously to change your plans upside down. This is what we want and why we wait the whole year for our January tradition trip.

In fact, we have a planning meeting tomorrow (well, if we can call it a meeting, because it’s more like talking and searching for places while drinking beer). I hope we can solve all the doubts before buying the bus tickets from Antofagasta to Uyuni, our first destiny. I can’t tell you much more, because tomorrow we see what happens. So now, just saving money and waiting for months to pass quickly!
