Oruro

(DAY286 : La Paz - Oruro : 145 miles)


Once out of the minivan hell, the ride south was quick and easy. Cecilia had headed west to Chile, so it was once again just me and Katirga. We pulled in to the ugly city of Oruro and after hearing that it takes another five to seven hours to Potosi, I checked in to a hotel although it was still early.

Around here, finding a heater in your room is not necessarily good news. It means survival without it is absolutely impossible. And with it, it just barely is. Once the sun is down, Oruro is nose dropping cold.
