Die Busse La Paz-Uyuni-La Paz

I took Titicaca Bus company from Uyuni to La Paz. When I opened my drone case at my La Paz hotel, which was one the rack above me while I slept, it had two rocks in it instead of the drone. No cameras on board. No help from the bus company (whose website listed on their luggage tag is a porn website). No help from the police.

I recently was in Las Paz, Bolivia and took the bus from La Paz, to Uyuni, Bolivia. It departed from the city bus terminal in La Paz at 9:00pm. Even though they say they are leaving at 8:00 on the schedule they actually do not on leave on time on either side of the trip. The reason is the 10 hour bus ride and they have plenty of time to spare in driving the distance between La Paz and Uyuni. They actually drive slow and thus the trip is safer because they are not running a tight bus schedule. The only thing I did not like taking the bus is it can get really hot in the middle of the night. The heaters in the bus can be little overwhelming. The trick to counter this is dress light with layers and most of all sit by or request to sit by a window that opens. This can be nice to relieve yourself from the heat because some seats are right over built in heaters in the bus. Good for some, but not for those sitting next to or above one. Be sure to book your hotels in advance. Do not just show up on either side without a pre booking. Otherwise you could be sitting on the streets a couple of boring unproductive hours.

<p>Excellent organization by a local provider. Everything went smooth and on time. Even they served a meal! Regardless a long, 10-h ride, the bus, and seats were very comfortable and both my husband and I 58- and 56-y-old, not in our 20s!! did not have any problems sleeping all the way to Uyuni and back. We did a one-day tour in Uyuni, coming that morning from La Paz by bus and leaving Uyuni for La Paz that same day at night.</p>
