Mar 1, 2009 - la Bolivie, facinante mais fatigante

Nous voulons donc aller vers Cochabamba ou l’on nous a dit qu’il faisait plus sec et chaud. ... Cochabamba achève le peu d'enthousiasme qui nous restait avec sa beauté a ressuciter les morts: un trafic assassin, la poubelle dans la rue (parfois les toilettes aussi), la rue c'est le marché, le marché c'est la ville, bruyante et fascinante. ... Queremos ir hacia Cochabamba, en donde nos dijeron que hacia mas calor y el clima era mas seco. ... Cochabamba nos quita el poco animo que nos quedaba. ...

Sep 19, 2008 - Cochabamba - Retrospective

Well, I didn't mean to get so far behind, but it happened. Forgive me any mistakes I may make as to the order of things, although it isn't as if you would know the difference really!

Jun 27, 2008 - I believe I can fly

At the moment I'm in Cochabamba, which isn't one of my favourite places to say the least. ... We arrived in Cochabamba at 5. ... I don't know why the staff got so confused; even I can put bread on a plate, make tea and boil some eggs! After our marathon breakfast ordeal, most of us walked to the foot of the hill with Cochabamba's giant statue of Christ perched on top. ... We were driven to a spot just outside Cochabamba with beautiful hills and a gorge where we were due to land, which I tried madly not to look at as we were driven to the top! Tim and me got harnessed in at the same time and he was a great help in calming my nerves; I had begun to question the wisdom of getting myself attached to a parachute and jumping off a massive hill! Once I did it, though, it was honestly the most exhilarating feeling in the world. ... I haven't done much in the way of learning about the culture of Cochabamba but I'm happy to just chill out and have some fun here as I'm off to La Paz tomorrow, where there will be lots more opportunites to soak up the Bolivian way of life. ...

Apr 23, 2008 - Cochabamba, April 19-28

We flew from Sucre to Cochabamba on a short plane ride. ... We had been looking forward to getting to Cochabamba because we were starting to feel directionless and like we were wasting a bit of time. ... The staff from Sustainable Bolivia picked us up at the Cochabamba airport and brought us to the house where a feast was awaiting us. ... Staying in the house with other volunteers was a great time because there were people to hang out with who share our experience and whom we could ask advice about Cochabamba, like where to eat or visit, though Sustainable Bolivia's great director did provide us with a short guide to the city also. ... Since Cochabamba is not much of a tourist town, the Concha is not filled with tourist kitch, but just whatever the locals need. ...

Dec 3, 2007 - Cochabamba

So i arrived in Cochabamba yesterday morning from Uyuni, I tell you it was quite an effort to get here and a bus ride from hell. ... When I got back from my Salar de Uyuni trip Oasis Tours was not open but they had my main luggage and my bus ticket to Cochabamba, so another agency was kind enough to call them and they came and opened up gave me my ticket and said they were open till 7pm so i decided to leave my bag there because my bus was at 8 and told them I'd be back before they closed. ...

Nov 29, 2006 - COCHABAMBA, Bolivia

Well, what can you say about Cochabamba. ... Why was the Hotel Amasas our Oasis? because the city of Cochabamba was a dump. ... Don't let anyone ever tell you that travelling is always Glamourous, as walking to and from the hotel every day, certainly wasn't! Even after heavy rain, the smell still wouldn't go! This was before you added the smog into the equation! That wasn't the only problem, Cochabamba has nothing to offer the wayward traveller stuck in Town for a few days. ...
