Bolivia Route
Here is our route in Bolivia.
Each day has elevation profile, map, and GPS information. However, we only rode two days in Bolivia (Copacabana to La Paz) so our information is suspect. The rest of the route (La Paz to the Argentine border via Uyuni) is by bus and train.
Other recommended information sources::
- Excellent ebook, Cycling South-west Bolivia at http://www.tour.tk/.
- Maps: We used the ITMB map of Bolivia, which had problems, as do most of their maps.
- PDFs of daily route notes from Florian and Rebekkah are gems of information. These are rehashes of a set that has been carried by many cyclists.
- Also, Pius and Stefan of panamerica.ch put their elevation profiles up - and they actually rode the route. Our profiles are mostly the train route. Take a look at their Bolivia map page and study their route profiles in PDF format.
