I was in Bolivia with 5 other people from Netherlands and Australia in a car from Chile. We got to Bolivia immigration, and it was the craziest immigration I’ve seen. All they did was take a look at my passport, my visa and put a stamp to let me go in. our first thing was to do My 4-day visit desert tour which we booked in Chile itself it was an amazing one; we traveled around the city mountains, lakes, hill places and views of tallest mountains witnessing many breath-taking views, pink colored lake, hot springs and lot. We toured in the elevation covering like 4000 meters. On the last day (4th day) of the tour and we were in Salar de Uyuni. We woke up early and drove to the cactus island in the middle of the salt flat to watch the sunrise. After which we took some crazy pictures on the salt flat, then had lunch sitting on it. Our 4-day tour finally came to an end. We were over in the city of Uyuni, and I had a small farewell party with these five guys.

I got on the bus to La Paz, arrived the next morning and checked into a hostel. I went for a walking tour of the city which was organized by hostel, but unfortunately, I was the only person. After the trip, I came back to the hostel where I met this Australian couple who did a four day Bolivia tour. We got hooked up, and after a while, we went out for lunch and searched for an agent for our downhill biking on the death road. Later in the evening, we went on a cable car tour in the city. Next day was an exciting day; we went to do downhill cycling on the death road with a group of about 25 people. Cycling on the dirt road is one of the most exciting things I did. We biked for around 60kms. After downhill biking, we went back to the hostel. It was late in the evening and we all parted to go to bed. The next day I took a bus to Cusco Peru.
