We did one of the most insane things this past week: We cycled down the world’s most dangerous road – Bolivia’s Death Road. Luckily, we survived the trip!
We spent the last week in Sucre, Bolivia’s capital, where we discovered dozens of types of potatoes in the market. Did you know that potatoes were Bolivia’s main staple?
Explore breathtaking (literally!) Potosi with us, the highest city in the world, colonial gem of Bolivia and once the world’s richest city thanks to its silver mine.
We didn’t expect to like Potosi, the highest city in the world, all that much, but ended up extending our stay by two nights – find out more about this colonial gem!

We highly recommend Hostal CasArte Takubamba in Sucre, Bolivia! A beautiful hostel with an artsy vibe, we found clean and bright rooms here, a sunny courtyard and good breakfast!
