After travelling a few hours by bus from Salta I Arrive at Aguas Blancas. It has been interesting to see many fields and plantations and a few narcotic check points along the way. When you arrive at Aguas Blancas you get the feeling that things are different as if you are nearing a third world country. Check out the bus depot below!
A man for a small fee throws you bags on a cart and pushes it up the road to the customs office, after you show your passports you go through a gate and walk towards the river to the boat that will take you to the other side to what what some call the armpit of Bolivia(Bremejo)
Bags are out on the boat and you give the man your ticket which you buy at a check point walking to the river.
For a better explanation of this and other info about crossing the border of Argentina to Bolivia check out The Experience Bolivia Blog
After lunch it was time to go through the Bolivian check point and we were ready to roll.
The article bellow was featured in the local newspaper that the trufi (taxi) driver had.
Its all about the moment in life when you realize that ist time for a change and that if you don't you may never have the chance…quite appropriate really have a read and practice your Spanish.
Check out the above video to see what can happen in a Bolivian minute on the road to Tarija.
