After some flight problems caused by the collapse of LAB, Liz relates her trip from Cuzco to the guesthouse Kuchi Rumi in the town of Urubama, taking photos along the way of the beautiful mountain scenery.

Today I came across a very good blog South American Explorations about a recently married couple traveling through the South America. There are some very good postings such as this one about Peninsula Valdes.

Sadly, the blog ends abruptly with a posting about one of the pair, Alli, being hospitalized in Santiago, Chile, with a blood clot affecting sixteen inches of her leg. The post states that she needed to spend 14 days for treatment in Santiago before returning to Australia. No postings followed.

That sounds really serious. We truly hope that she is doing well and is fully recovered. Best of luck!

Here’s a trio who are on the first leg of an around the world trip.

They describe the 16 hour bus trip to Puerto Madryn. (You know, once you’ve done these long distances buses a few time, then 16 hours really doesn’t sound all that bad). From their blog, we learn about a 1 peso bottle of wine, hmmm, along the details of their visit to Peninsula Valdés.

They also remind us of the importance about not turning on your iPod above 3,000 meters. I never realized it but that’s a damn good thing to know when visiting Bolivia.
