This is a long one
This is a long one, as the service and support we received from Hi Bolivia Travel was outstanding.
From the moment we were picked up on the border between Bolivia and Chile we were cared for in the most outstanding way. We were met by Leroy and Hugo at Hito Cajon and proceeded to cross the Andes in a comfortable Land Cruiser, it needed to be as the roads are a little rustic. A refreshing lunch was taken by the thermal pools with time to take some pictures if desired. Onward then to Uyuni where they dropped us off at our hotel overlooking the Salt Flats. The following day Hugo and Leroy collected us for a quite remarkable day on the Salt Flats. What an experience! Lunch was provided some 80km from where we stated, yes they are that massive. before travelling to an are still covered in water from the rainy season. The reflections were out of this world, with mountains, clouds and ourselves all reflected in the mirror like surface. A sundowner topped it off perfectly.
The following day Hugo picked us up and took us to the airport where we checked in for our flight. Unfortunately it was seriously delayed. We contacted Veronica at Hi Bolivia Travel to see if there were any options available as a 13 hour delay was going to be an unfortunate hiccup in our journey to La Paz. Before we knew it Veronica had arranged a car to take us to La Paz, saving hours of delay despite a long drive at not additional cost to ourselves. Not only had Veronica moved heaven and earth to speed us on our way, she contacted our hotel in La Paz and arranged for a late supper to be available as we would arrive after the restaurant had closed.
The following day our guide and river Victor and Joao, took us to Lake Titicaca for another memorable day, lunch on a island, another wonderful experience. Having arrived late in La Paz we had missed our planned tour of the city, yet again Veronica excelled and arranged to us to be taken round by Victor and Joao before we were dropped off at the airport. I'm not sure when Veronica sleeps but the service which she and Hi Bolivia Travel gave us is something one can only dream about, quite simply nothing was too much trouble. Thank you everyone for making our time in Bolivia such a fabulous experience.
