Hola!
No, I am not lost in the Andes and nor have I found myself in hospital in a fourth country after having been mauled by a savage pack of South American stray dogs (though not for a lack of trying on their part).
Nope, I’m in Sydney, doing my best to settle into life without a backpack and wondering how on earth I’m ever going to manage to do justice on this blog to the experiences of the last few months.
There is still so much I have to tell you about Peru, about Bolivia and about how freaking expensive Argentina was.
But while I procrastinate, head to Flickr and check out some images from my four days in a 4WD through the otherworldly landscapes of Bolivia.
In 2010 I quit my job to travel the world. If you want to keep up to date with my travels, you can subscribe for free by email to be notified of new posts. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed in a feed reader. 
In May 2010 I left my job and Australia to travel the world indefinitely. This is the story of that trip and the others to come. Want to know

Holy wow. Bolivia looks absolutely…surreal.
Surreal indeed, Kyle! Sometimes the landscape was quite similar to Tibet, where you always feel like you’re on the moon. But in Bolivia the colour palette is a bit more diverse (with reds joining the greys and blues) so you end up feeling like you’re in a Dali painting!
Amazing. Such a diverse little country.
Bolivia is incredible, Erik. If you’re headed to South America, I think it’s unmissable.
I have missed you! Looking at the photos now — wow!!
Aww thanks Heather!
Fantastic pictures Megan!
Thanks Romana!
Las fotos son bellísimas! Incríble que exista un lugar así. Espero el próximo año visitar Sudamerica. Antes, estaré en Medio Oriente y Norte de África durante Noviembre, el tiempo que me alcanzan las vacaciones.
Me encantó tu blog. Te escribí un email pero no se si te llegó.
Saludos!
Javier.
Hola Javier! Sorry my Spanish is not good enough to reply to you in Spanish
I was just in Argentina where the Spanish is very difficult to understand and I think it made me forget all that I had learned!
I have replied to your email with some tips on Jordan – I’m so jealous about your travels, sounds like you’ll be seeing some amazing places.
Hi Megan, your pictures are amazing, thank you for sharing! Would you remember which company you used for the 4WD trip, and if they were good? Thank you!
Thanks Sylvie
I travelled from Tupiza – Tupiza on a four day circuit (if you start from Tupiza you can also finish in Uyuni and cross into Chile or head up to La Paz). I strongly recommend doing it that way. It’s more expensive than the trips that leave from Uyuni but the quality and safety standards are miles ahead.
There are 2 main tour operators in Tupiza and they are very similar. I travelled with La Torre tours, who were excellent. Our driver was very responsible and our cook excellent. A friend travelled on a Tupiza tours trip that left the same day I did and her experience was virtually identical. So whichever you choose you’re going to have an amazing experience.
Thank you Megan, I just checked their websites and it looks indeed very professional! Looking forward to reading your future posts!
No problems, let me know how your trip goes!
Love your Salt Flat photos… when we went we ended up in a snow storm, kind of scary and had to skip the geyser! Was really looking forward to it. Well we have to go back.
What else have you done in Bolivia?
Hey there! It wasn’t snowing when I was there – and it wasn’t even all that cold! Our sleeping bags were plenty warm enough at night but we knew of people having problems being freezing especially once you get up past 4,000m.
I did some trekking around Sucre, spent several days in La Paz and explored Potosi (but I didn’t go underground!) while I was in Bolivia. From Tupiza I went straight to the Argentinian border.
Amazing scenes of a landscape I’ve yet to see in person, but will before long.
All the best from Santiago… where the street dogs are plentiful but placid.
Thanks Andrew! Glad to hear the street dogs in Santiago are placid. I didn’t make it to Chile this time, but it’s on my list for next time
was wondering what happened to you after the ziplining.
Wow* AWESOME PHOTOS* I gotta get myself out to Bolivia!
Ha, nope not eaten by dogs
Bolivia was certainly amazing – it really was the highlight for me.
