After our salt flats tour we were pretty knackered so we were looking forward to not doing too much for a couple of days. Tupiza provided us with the perfect excuse, we ate hamburgers, hamburgers and more hamburgers and then decided that we should do something so went horse riding... It was only the 2nd time in my life i have got on a hourse, the first was when i was about 8 and it wasnt for very long, so a three hour trip seemed quite a long time. Our guide didnt speak english but my horse pretty much knew where it was going without me having to do anything so all was good. I felt like a proper cowboy cause of the countryside we were riding through, see photos. (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed in the area). Tim and I now have matching bruises on our arses! Dont want to think how painfull a 7 hour trip would have been!
Another night bus took us to Tarija, the high altitude wine region of Bolivia. Wine has not touched our lips since Lima which was about a month ago, bring on the vino!
Me on my first horseride ever!
Check out these canyons
Again the rock formations create crazy shapes
The only bit of life in the desert
On our way back through town along the train tracks
