Hello classmate!
I guess my best holiday was the one I spent last summer in Bolivia and Peru with my boyfriend.
We were travelling for about five weeks, starting on monday 5th of february. It was a lot of time for me, but it was the first time in my life I left Chile, so I would have travelled a lot more if I had more time.
As I said, I went there with my boyfriend, but we managed to meet a friend of mine in Coroico, Bolivia, so we wer not alone all the time.
I visited many places, and spent finally much more time in Bolivia than expected. We started in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, and then went to Calama to wait until a bus could take us to Uyuni, the first place we visited in Bolivia. After going to the saltflat, we carried on to Potosí. We loved that city, even though the people in there were not the most lovely. We wanted to go to Oruro after that, but as the carnival of Oruro was taking place there were no buses available. So we went to Sucre and Santa Cruz, afterwards.
Santa Cruz was not specially interesting, but that´s because we did not know where to go and had to improvise for two days.
After that, we arrived at La Paz, where we spent the most of the days visiting many places in the near (like Tiwanaku and Coroico) and buying books. Then, we travelled to Copacabana, in the Titikaka lake, and went to the Island of the Sun, were we camped (even though the rain was very strong!).
After taking a last trip to Cusco, in Peru, we decided to go back to Chile, but not before stopping in Iquique to enjoy the beach and the warm Sun of the north.
I guess this holiday was so good because I lived a lot of new things, and visited places I hardly knew even existed! But most of all, I think I will always remember that time because I got to know myself and the places I had to study during that term at the university better.

That´s all!

P.S. I´ll include a foto of me in the ruins of Tiwanaku. I hope you like it!
