We crossed into Bolivia today and made our way to the scenic town of Tupiza. Although the Salta and Jujuy provinces were noticeably different and poorer from the rest of Argentina, Bolivia is hugely different. Our bus from the border was an old rattletrap, a rude awakening from luxurious buses of Argentina. The road to Tupiza was not paved at all and all along the way, we stopped to pick up villagers who stuffed themselves in the bus. As Joylani noted, the food is bad. I don’t like Argentine food much to begin with (besides a proper juicy steak) and Chilean food was worse. And now Bolivian food is even nastier. Unfortunately, I’ve heard terrible things about Bolivian food and heard that things aren’t going to get any better as we go further north. On a positive note, the scenery around Tupiza is sublime.
