Days 436 – 446: Peru to Bolivia and its incredible cities

On Tuesday, October 2, we had a 2-hour ride from the town of Puno to the border crossing for Bolivia. We stopped on the way to take a look at Lake Titicaca, but we didn’t have a good viewpoint and just our cell phones so we didn’t the greatest picture. Boo hoo for us. Lake […]

Days 397 – 413: Livin’ la vida Lima

Riding into Lima was, quite possibly, our most stressful arrival upon a city on this trip so far. I have ranted about Peruvian drivers being certifiably insane and Lima, being the capital city, seems to be a cesspool of the worst drivers imaginable. Not only did it seem like everyone on the road was trying […]

Days 373 – 380: Colombia to Ecuador and a week in Quito

On July 31, we bid farewell to magical Colombia and crossed the border into Ecuador. We used the Rumichaca border crossing, which was fairly straight-forward and fast at around an hour and 15 minutes. For details, refer to our border crossings page. Our first stop was in Ibarra, a charming little town around two hours […]

Days 327 – 330: Beautiful and blistering Cartagena

On Friday, we headed towards Cartagena, taking the road going through Barranquilla. Shakira fans who don’t know where she’s from, Barranquilla is the singer’s hometown and there is a statue of her there. The traffic in the city was chaotic and getting out of there was an absolute nightmare so no selfies of us with […]

Days 318 – 326: The road to the north of Colombia

We left Sachica after a hearty breakfast on the morning of Wednesday, June 6, and headed north. Our plan was to make our way to Cartagena using highway 45 that ran fairly close to the Venezuelan border and then down to Medellin using a different route. About midway to our next stop in San Gil, […]

Days 311 – 317: Bogota to Villa de Leyva and the Terracotta House

We spent our last few days in Bogotá with some low-key exploring of the beautiful city and getting spoilt with Colombian hospitality in the form of another delicious lunch, courtesy of our host’s wonderful relatives. On Monday, June 4, we left the capital and headed towards Sachica, our stop for the next two nights. Sachica is […]
