A Trip Within
A Journey ~ In
Bolivia ~ by Kyle Hammons - In the last issue of Escape from
America magazine, I shared my adventures on Peru’s famed Inca Trail to
Machu Pichu. A brilliant trail that is certainly among the best in the
world, the Inca Trail’s popularity has become so overwhelming that wait
lists can often hinder independent travel plans and deter from the excitement
of spontaneous travel. So in this issue I want to take a look back at the
two weeks awarded to me when overcrowding on the Inca Trail left me stranded
in Cusco. Though inconvenient at the time, those two weeks allowed me an
opportunity to view some of the most fascinating cultures in one of the
world’s most beautiful lakes. Oct./05
Baby Blue
And La Paz ~ Making
It Through In Bolivia ~ By Mark McMahon - Mark McMahon has been traveling
around Latin America over the last few years and has brought back some
great tales. In this installment he talks about his prized car and what
it's like to explore the Bolivian capitial of La Paz. If you ever thought
about just getting in a car and heading south then you will want to read
about Mark's adventures. June/03
Bolivia
- Destination Bolivia - Living
in Bolivia - "My wife and I made ends meet by teaching in Bolivia.
The natural assumption is ESL. I ,however am a university math professor
and my Spanish is good enough to give classes in Spanish. My wife who is
actually a nurse by profession, also gave elementary school classes in
a small English speaking school. Together we could bring in about $ 1100
per month. It is very easy to live on this amount in Bolivia. As a comparison,
my wife was offered a 48 hour a week nursing job at $ 120 a month. It is
also possible to survive on this wage."
Bolivia:
South America's Retirement Paradise - Bolivia
at the Top of the World - Nestled high in the Andes mountains of South
America, Bolivia is a little-known retreat exotically spiced with a unique
Latin and Native American flavor. Bolivia has a lot to offer…a very low
cost of living, unspoiled natural environment, friendly people and a range
of climates to suit virtually every taste. Property prices are among the
lowest in Latin America. Sept/02.
Bolivia
To Buenos Aires -On
The Road ~ by Mark McMahon - Mark is off, headed out of Boliva and
making a trail towards Argentina. Read all about it in the above article.
Remember to check out Mark's tours to Cuba and Ecuador. Oct./03
Bolivian
Safari ~ Salar
de Uyuni, Bolivia ~ by Mark McMahon - The far southwest corner of Bolivia
is home to some of the most bizarre and extreme landscapes in the world.
By far the world's largest salt flat and some other very interesting geology
make it and unforgettable place to visit. The harsh and inhospitable environment
also make the visit hard to forget. Bitter cold and blistering sun made
comfort a sparse commodity on the four-day adventure. Oct./04
Finding
Our Place In Peru ~ Peru
And Bolivia 2004 ~ by Mark McInerney - My wife, Karen, and I decided
that it had been a couple of years since we traveled in South America and
a vacation down there was just the thing we needed. Clearly, it’s
no secret to our friends that we love South America. We find the
pace of the people in their every day lives to be enjoyable. The
focus on friends and family is to be admired. Sure, not every thing works
the way it does in the USA, but all you need is a little more patience.

Live Rent
Free In The World's Highest Capital - La Paz, Bolivia - Live
Rent Free In The World's Highest Capital - La Paz, Bolivia - A strategy
to live rent free in Bolivia by Martin Li. In addition, writes Martin,
"You can buy a three-bedroom chalet in Santa Cruz, centrally located in
the 2nd/3rd anillos (ring roads), with two bathrooms, garden and garage
for two cars, for US$47,500. If you are prepared to move out slightly further,
to the 4th/5th anillos, a similar investment will get you a four-bedroom,
three-bathroom house with patio and garage. And if location close to the
city center is not that important to you, a three-bedroom chalet in one
of the outer anillos can cost as little as US$13,000. - This article first
appeared in the January 2001 issue of Escape From America Magazine

Through
Bolivia ~ Riding
My Bike On The World's Most Dangerous Road ~ By Mark McMahon - There
are some great photos in this article. They show you what it might feel
like to bike down a dangerous road in the mountains of Bolivia. There is
also a lot of information about where to stay and how to join the kind
of bike tour described in the article. Bolivia is a country that has great
extremes: the browns of the altiplano and the green jungle on the Brazilian
and Paraguayan borders. The people have always been friendly to me and
that's important in a country where, depending on which city you're in,
your body may be acclimating itself to the pressures of altitude sickness.
Enjoy your time in Bolivia and stay away from the drop. May/03
What Doesn't
Kill You... ~ Noel

By Mark McMahon - Mark is off again on one of his adventures in the depths

Park and finds himself and his little sister trapped on a dirt road in
the deep, remote interior of Bolivia. As always with Mark, high adventure
and near escapes. Aug/03
