Sucre and Santa Cruz
In order to reach next country, Argentina, we had to fly to Buenos Aires from Sucre via Santa Cruz. Bus trip to Sucre was hmm… interesting, and luckily the last in Bolivia. Big part of the roads in Bolivia are unpaved, and the buses are not the best ever. Half of the trip from La Paz to Uyuni there had hardly been any road at all, the bus was jumping so much it felt at times like it’s gonna fall down.
From Uyuni to Sucre the bus goes down from over 4000 meters to under 2000 meters, and the brakes are complaining a lot. Luckily the road wasn’t by the cliff and we got there safely. By the way the traffic in Peru and Bolivia is quite messy, they do have lanes but don’t follow them, and pass each other like crazy. Surprisingly we didn’t see many accidents, so the system must make some sense to the locals…
Sucre was the wealthiest and nicest looking city so far in Bolivia. We relaxed in an european cafe and dared even trying a good local dish, composing of beef, sausages, boiled eggs, french fries, hot paprika, cooked onions, tomatoes and mayonnaise.
We were so relaxed we got lazy and didn’t even take any pictures.
Santa Cruz is the biggest city of the country, we got a tourist tour on a taxi from and to the airport. We stayed there only because our connecting flight was next day.
