Takesi - Following the footsteps of the Incas

The Takesi Trail is a 40km stretch down an ancient Incan road, from the sparse landscape of the Altiplano to the rich forests of the Yungas Valley. This road was once used by Incan foot messengers, called “chaskis”, and later by the Spanish, who used them to bring goods between cities across the Andes mountains.

The trail is almost entirely downhill, so it is not too strenuous. The trailhead of the two- or three-day hike is easy to find, and the trip can be done without a guide. There are campsites along the way where you can stay for the night.

The trail starts with little vegetation, but as you gradually descend along the path, it becomes greener and greener until you find yourself in a lush cloud forest. You walk alongside the Sochicachi River, which offers a nice cool down from the warmer temperatures. The Takesi trail takes you down through the beautiful scenery of the valley, as you imagine yourself as an ancient runner, an important message in hand.

Uyuni - More than salt flats

Uyuni is known around the world for its famous salt flats. But while the Salar de Uyuni is certainly not to be missed, a three-day tour around the region proves there is more waiting to be discovered on the shores of the salt desert.

Nearby lagoons of different colours are home to an abundance of flamingos, hot springs, the Salvador Dali dessert, abd the Arbol de Piedra (stone tree), among other attractions. The numerous stops reveal not only incredible scenery, but also some interesting features of Bolivian history.

Jorge Quisbert interview.
Costumes have become lighter, shrinking from 60 to 40 kilograms (which nonetheless makes dancing for hours an impressive feat), but the majority are now produced and imported in bulk, usually from China. They are a cheaper, discardable option for carnival-goers. Jorge explains that this reflects a waning interest in the spiritual side of carnival: where people used to dance as a joyous expression of faith, young people now dance for their own joy, their own happiness and their own ego. He describes the transition of carnival into a display of decadence, aggravated by their exoticisation by foreign tourists who do not understand the celebration’s religious complexity and cultural roots.
