Hi there! We used PeruHop/BoliviaHop to cross the border, and they organised it all. It was quite a simple process once we were there to get the exit stamp and then the entry stamp. We met a lot of people who struggled to find much information on the process, and for that reason used BoliviaHop for the section from Puno- Copacabana, and then on to La Paz. It was very straight forward and all organised online, and anything further via email or the online portal. The ferryboat to Isla del Sol was also organised by PeruHop, but there were companies at the water which were offering a similar trip for approx 10USD if I recall correctly. Isla del Sol was beautiful, its a good relaxing spot. You can spend a night on the Island if you have time. Copacabana is quite basic, so it would depend on how much time you have. If you travel with Bolivia Hop, the bus schedule will allow leaving Puno, arriving in Copacabana, time for a trip to Isla del Sol and then transport to La Paz all in one day.

Hey there! We did like Red Planet. Good quality cars, food and the accomodation standard was much higher than expected. The price does seem to reflect that though. We prebooked online, but there were people travelling with us who turned up in the morning and got a good price for a same day departure, or contacted them through whatsapp and booked. There are over 100 tour operators in Uyuni doing salt flat tours, but we found Red Plant was one of the only ones who did an English speaking departure everyday.

Hey John! Sorry for the late reply. Hope you are enjoying your trip. We used a global Esim with Airalo, which unfortunately did not work in Bolivia. I believe the South America specific one from Airalo does cover Bolivia.

Peru Hop is so great for meeting people! There is definitely a 'gringo trail' through Peru and Bolivia - we keep meeting the same people along the way - its great to catch up and swap experiences.

It's a beautiful place. Thanks for watching. Es un lugar hermoso. Gracias por ver.

It really is! Thank for watching

We enjoyed this trip so much and once in Iquitos the tour was hassle free. Flights out from Lima where easy also. This is an adventure that you will both remember forever. If you can handle rustic accommodation, heat, bugs and rain you are gonna love this trip. Originally we were going to go to Leticia in Colombia but missed out on flights. So it was just luck we went on this tour. The vaccine process at home (Aussie) was pretty straight forward. You do need to get the timing right for boosters and different vaccines so make sure you have enough time before you go. We also took Malaria medication which you might want to look into. We hope this helps. Please let us know how your adventure goes. .

@@Thattrainhassailed thanks for the reply! We're so excited to go. Looks like we'll be booking this exact trip.

We went in September and the weather was great, although a little windy. It is tricky but we tried to pack for all weather conditions. A quality rain coat is a must and a great option for layering in colder areas. Hope that helps. How long are you going for? Are you going to Bolivia as well?

Thank you but we can't take the credit haha. If you want to follow the artists we put their links in the description of each video.

Thank you for noticing! We weren't sure if anybody was actually reading them. Glad you found it useful.

There is sooo much editing to do haha. We are trying and will be putting one out every week. If you want to get updates feel free to follow us on instagram.

We use humour to cover up our fear haha.

Gracias!

Thank you for the kind words! We are still learning and are hopefully getting better as we go. It is a lot of fun sharing our travels.

Thank you for such a great tour and educating us about your community.

Yes we did. Found them to be super easy to deal with. We did have mates that found it much cheaper to sort their own bus transfers but then you have the extra hassle of connections and the like. Are you planning a trip or used Peru hop yourself?

Thanks mate! Have you been to Colca Canyon or planning to?

@@Thattrainhassailed was just there a week ago!

Glad you enjoyed our trip. There is plenty more episodes to see if you are so inclined.

That is so cool! A great guide makes all the difference.

Thank you very much and all the best to you and yours.

Right back at you mate! Hope the holidays were a good time!

You could see what we saw in 2 days with out feeling too rushed. At this point in our travels we had plenty of time and we liked the party atmosphere of the hostel so we stayed an extra night. Should mention that there are plenty of other accomodation options that are much more relaxed.

The nature reserve gave such an interactive experience. The anaconda was epic!

The view at the top is worth it! Kels was struggling this day but I counted 670 steps. I could have missed a few. You'll need to go and give us a count comparison.

We'll have to do that. @@Thattrainhassailed

Wow! That would have been an experience. Cenotes are the best!

Cheers! Just wish we didn't break our action camera.

Ugh. So sorry about the camera. @@Thattrainhassailed 😥

We went a cheaper option for accommodation but loved our time on the Island.

I stayed for free. The company was trying to sell me on the idea of finding investors in their company, which I decided not to do (I did financial planning back then). Otherwise it's a bit pricey for me. Rather spend the money on experineces, just like you guys.@@Thattrainhassailed

Thanks for the tip!

Definitely a buck list item ticked off here! Really fun experience even if we did get a little vertigo haha.

The views were pretty special. There were a few fires about so some of the valley was obscured but still very impressive. Fully understand why it gets so busy.

It is a very odd collection but well worth a look. Always nice to discover something new.

The heat was insane but you make a great point about the lines. Sometimes it felt like we were the only ones out there.

That is 100% a thumb haha

We were very surprised by the forest leading into the North Rim. Such a contrast when you get to the lookouts.

Agreed! Had look that reference up haha.

Glad we did it justice and we are glad you are enjoying our channel.

It was our first time seeing USA's national parks and we were not disappointed. You guys have such an amazing backyard to explore!

Hi there, thanks for the tip! I will be sure to do that. You will love Peru. We spent almost 4 weeks there - there is so much to do. Our next Peru videos are to come in the next couple of weeks.

Yay, looking forward to those Peru blogs@@Thattrainhassailed

Hi there - It had been pretty dry! The locals were saying it had been a long time between rains. It started raining the day we left though, so it should be back to it's green glory!

👌@@Thattrainhassailed

Hey there! We got them from a cafe called Brunch Cafe. It was so good, we got another pack for our long bus trip to Bogota. I've linked the cafe in the description ☺️

@@Thattrainhassailed I hope you didn't take the bus from Armenia to Bogota. If you did, bless you because it is a miserable journey. Far better to fly one way for 120 mil pesos. Enjoy the rest of your journey.

Don Bourke - the real hero.

It really is stunning and such a good hike.

Thank you so much- we appreciate it! Our time here has been so special.

It sure is an amazing part of the world! Thanks so much.

Appreciate it mate! This was a really cool trip.

Anytime! Thank you for watching and we hope you continue to enjoy our channel.
