Many thanks to Josh (aka “Bug Man”) for this epic update from the depths of the Bolivian jungle… To summarise what has happpened to the group it would have to be: – A 20+ hour flight– Altitude sickness and machetes in La Paz– A 23 hour coach ride on Death Road– Back breaking labour in […]

Grey and gloomy. Welcome to South America! – Lima The most part of the group arrived around midnight, tired after their many flights and various stopovers. The fun was to start the next morning when we jumped on one of the local buses to a suburb shanty town called Villa Maria. In this part of […]
