Travelogue 2003 South America
Argentina, Bolivia, Chile

This trip through South America, from Argentina via Boliva to Chile was my most intense travel experience. Two months to spend, total liberty to do whatever I wanted, changing my route and plans daily, grabbing every opportunity. Thus my journey took me to several world records:

to the largest and most impressive water falls of the world in Iguazu
to the largest salt lake in the world, Salar de Uyuni
to the largest river network, I took a cargo boat downstream Mamoré, feeder of the Amazon
to the highest seat of government in the world, La Paz
to the highest public airport, El Alto (La Paz)
to the highest navigable lake in the world, Lago Titicaca
to the largest copper mine of the world, Chuquicamata, the largest hole men have dug
to the driest dessert in the world, Atacama Dessert
to the largest optical telescope of the world, VLT in Paranal

And I almost had my right hand bitten off by an alligator, I caught piranhas, went horse riding, floated in saturated salt water, saw a meteorite and could not believe the beauty of South America.
