Maria & George's Travels: Vignettes of our adventures
Bolivia Between Protests
Our first day in La Paz the city was locked down by a miners’ strike. Our last day was a national general strike. Luckily in between we got to see the best of Bolivia.
High on Lake Titicaca
From the Sacred Valley to Lake Titicaca by luxury train. From a quiet night with a local family on Isla Amantani to not so quiet nights in Copacabana, Bolivia’s backpacker Mecca.

Busting our lungs trekking into Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail and exploring the Sacred Valley of the Inca Empire.
