The jeep trip from Uyuni to San Pedro is basically beyond words. We passed trough one of the most amazing landscapes I have ever seen in my life.

The Salar de Uyuni: Biggest salt flat of the world. An amazing landscape, both at sunset and in bright sunlight. Getting there by quad was adding some adrenaline to the beauty.

In Potosí I took i tour to one of the mines in the close by Cerro Rico (rich mountain), which was a shocking experience. The working conditions are just inhuman.

On the way down we stopped in Sucre. And stayed a bit longer than planned, as I did not feel too good. Sucre is a nice colonial city and we stayed in the Pachamama hostel which was perfect for a few relaxed days.

Nuestra Señora de La Paz. Big city. More than two million people living here. As I normally don’t like big cities I was skeptical. However, it was totally different this time. I don’t know why, but I loved the city and would return anytime!

Next stop was Rurrenabaque. The next three days I went into the Pampa near Santa Rosa. An awesome landscape with a lot of wildlife.

After two relaxed days in La Paz it was time for some action. So we decided to go for some bike riding on the North Yungas Road, also known as “Camino de la Muerte” or “Death Road”.

Staying in Arequipa for a longer time I felt the need to do some sports. As I missed training Karate since I left Darmstadt I tried to find a Dojo in Arequipa. And was lucky! After some Google queries I found the Dojo of Sensei Mario Ramirez Paredes. 8. DAN, Shotokan!
