I was told by several people that the food in Bolivia is pretty bad. It would be hard to come by fresh fruits and vegetables. And of course there is food poisoning to worry about. However, I actually enjoyed the food in Bolivia. Sure, you can get lots of fried street food that looks like […]
Travel the World Through Food
I ended my time in Latin America with something I had been looking forward to since before I started the journey, a photo session at the Salar de Uyuni. Now I am home. I am ready to be home. I am ready to keep exploring while still enjoying the comforts of home. A week after […]
Foto of the Week from … Tarija: Street Food
At first I thought this was just cheese on a stick. As much as I love cheese, there are more interesting things to try. Then the man told me it was NOT just cheese on a stick. This is cheese and YUCA on a stick. When I was in Nicaragua, I discovered yuca for the […]
Ambrosia: The Tarijeño Breakfast of Champions
On the morning we started the Valle de Los Cóndores hike, Vicente introduced us to the traditional breakfast drink of the Tarijeños (people of Tarija). Ambrosia When he grabbed the bottle of Singani, a locally-produced liquor that tastes like rubbing alcohol and paint thinner, I was worried and already thinking of excuses to not try […]
The Best Kept Secret in Bolivia
As I said before, there are a few things to do and see in Tarija, but I decided to stay longer than the usual visitor. I wanted to go mountain biking, but nobody else signed up for the tour. I wanted to do a wine tour in Valle La Concepcion, but nobody else signed up […]

Foto of the Week from … Sucre: Savory Salteñas
I finally tried one of the most popular breakfast foods in Sucre. The reason it took so long is that I normally don’t eat a heavy breakfast (unless I’m having brunch at Malvon), and I find it a bit odd that people would choose this is a breakfast food. But once I tried them, I […]
My New Addiction in Bolivia… and My Favorite Dealer
Considering I am in Bolivia, you might have thought I was talking about something else. But the addictive substance I am talking about is totally legal. I walk 2.5 blocks to get it every day. It costs 8 Bolivianos (US$1.15) a pop. I am considering upping it to two per day. […]

Have you ever felt like you have discovered the best-kept secret in a city? Have you ever had a dining experience that made you feel like a famous food critic? I have. At El Baqueano. I do not even remember where I read about El Baqueano during my guide book research, but […]

Paraje Arévalo: The Vibe Paraje Arévalo has an simple yet elegant decor with a few antique pieces and a black-and-white checkered tile […]
