Herding llama on the Altiplano in Bolivia.

Our first campsite in Bolivia, 30 km outside of La Paz.

The Altiplano is at 3900 meters, those peaks must be at 6,000 meters.

Birds of prey are a common sight along the road.

This dust devil may take that house away.

Visitor to our camp site.

Our second campsite, note the salt flat in the background.

Packed up and ready to ride, almost.
