It has been a bit of time since our last post. Forgive us. The last week has been a very busy and hectic one. We finished up our 4 day 3 night hike of the Machu Picchu trail, it was nothing short of incredible. We will be posting pictures soon, the internet connection at our hostel is subpar. We will post pictures once we can get a better connection.
Cuzco has been my favorite city on the trip so far. It is about 8,000 feet above sea level and surrounded by beautiful mountains and gorgeous landscapes. It is called "the gringo capital of South America." It is quite touristy here, everyone pretty much speaks english and are from all over the world. I'd have to say that Australians are definitely the MVPs of this trip they make everything more enjoyable, so I say "cheers" to them.
Tonight is our last night in Cuzco, we are heading to Puno on an overnight bus to see the floating islands of Lake Titicaca. The islands literally float on the lake, they are made of some sort of wicker and dirt material that is built layer by layer which makes the islands float. Sounds pretty cool. We should be arriving in Puno at around 5 am, we are going to do the half day tour then jump right back onto a bus to Copacobana. At this point we will be across the Bolivian border and on our way to La Paz... The highest capital city in the world. I believe it sits somewhere around 12,000 to 13,000 ft above sea level.
After La Paz the plan is to head down to Uyuni de Solar and explore the Salt Flats and the colored lagoons. That will pretty much be the end of our time in Bolivia. We will keep you all posted and picture will be up soon, we promise.
Go Bears
