Last day in Bolivia

In Potosi I visited an active silver mine in one of the most famous silver mountains in the world, Cerro Rico. A part from that the stay in Potosi was quite uneventful but the view over the city was great.

Then I headed to the capital of Bolivia, Sucre. There I went rock climbing in the mountains above the city, pretty fun.

Also went to see some dinosaur footprints which was cool.


From Sucre I took an overnight bus to La Paz. Do not really like the city. Sucre was a lot nicer.

However La Paz has a trick up its sleeve. Death Road!!!

Probably the single greatest thing I have ever done. Started of going up to 4700 meters, snow and all.

After cycling around 24 km on tarmac as warm up it was time for Death Road, one of the most dangerous roads in the world. 30 km on dirt with a mountain on one side and a huge drop of on the other side of the road. The bottom was at 1200 meters so the change in altitude was extreme. Thankfully my body seems to have gotten used to the altitude so I had no problems.

And then zip lining to finish the day off.

Tomorrow I head to Peru!!!
