RE: where to learn spanish/volunteer in Bolivia?

by Torgeir1989 19 May 2012

Sucre is where everyone goes to study Spanish. It's a nice city, with nice surroundings, but not a lot going on in the city. A bit gring…
RE: Uyuni to Santa Cruz - via Cochabamba or Potosi/Sucre?

First night below or above 3000 is a key factor - I´d check if there are any same day flights to Sucre. On a short trip every wasted…

No, there is one night at 3650, then 3 nights in Sucre, then travel by bus to Potosi. Kind of hard to avoid La Paz completely if you're…
