Tupiza: The Desert Life!


We explored on horse back, of course! Jon’s magnificent and head-strong beast was called Capriccio, Simon’s friendly mare was called Esmirelda, and we were shown around the area by a young lad called Jorge. We walked, we cantered, we trotted and we galloped around for five hours exploring the amazing landscapes and cacti around the town of Tupiza: the Canon del Inca, amongst other fantastic sights. Yes, we really bonded with these horses and felt like real gauchos! We even lopped the top off an imposing looking cactus and tasted the fruit within!

  1. Simon, you look as though you're about to fall off Esmirelda!! Hope you're having a great time. Looking forward to catching up in April. Stay safe. xxx
