Day 330. Kilometre 38,825
(Mile 24,125). Latitude 16° 22' South.
A summary of my itinerary
since Cuzco, with a bit of anticipation also.
Distance between Cuzco and
Uyuni : 4.615 km (2,670 mi)
Left from Cuzco, I went on
the shore of Lake Titicaca. Puno and the floating islands were my
last step in Peru. I crossed the border: welcome to Bolivia! Then I
spent two days on Isla del Sol (Sun island) on the Bolivian side of
the Lake.
Then I made La Paz a base
camp for my climb of Huayna Potosi and my hike in the Cordillera
Apolobamba. Sucre, the “white city” and capital of the country,
was the next step. Then I hit the road to reach Santa Cruz from where
I am going to spend a week visiting the Jesuit Missions (I am there
at present).
Back in Santa Cruz, I'll
meet Falko, a German friend who comes spend the end of year in the
region. We'll go to the mining city of Potosi, then Uyuni and its
famous salar (salt flat), and then the wonderful region of South
Lipez. After all that it will be high time to reach Chile!
