Chile


Santiago de Chile


Easter Islands next trip...

Shit, too early this season, no skilift open :-(

Not much to say about Chile, i didn´t stay long, it´s just too expensive compared to all other countries around.

Just a bit more...




Laguna Colorado

Laguna Verde

More of Uyuni

On the Isla de Pescado, makes sense this name in a desert....but it´s because of the shape of the island

The Hoff on tour

The car after the salt desert...

Salar de Uyuni

That´s a desert in 3.800m altitude, totally surreal!

Mit Chris & Chris from the UK


Who is the king of beer?

More of Bolivia, Potosi

The trip goes on and today....to the mines of Potosi!
It´s pretty tough in the mines, over 4.000m altitude and full of dust and dirt in the mines. Plus it´s full of asbestos!!
But very interesting how the miners still work.

City of Potosi

One mountain with mines, 25.000 people work in there, average wedges 400 Euro per month, expected age of a miner 40-45 years!!!

The devil of the mines

Not much space to move sometimes
