Album 16 - Bolivia and Paraguay


They are our first kilometers on the Bolivian road. A true happiness, the coating is excellent and the few puddle pools which strew our way are used as feeding trough to thousands of butterflies, provided that that lasts. It will be called "the road with the butterflies".

And that did not last, the coating changed. In fact of coating we roll on sharp-edged stones which attack our tires in a worrying way. For the photograph we thus preferred to make 3 meters on the railway.


Considering certain bridges, it was better that we make only a few meters on these rails.

After "the road with the butterflies" here "the road with the pigs". The size of the puddle pools becomes worrying. Let us hope that they do not increase. And they increased so much that we do not have of them photographs.

This pan contains feet of cows which are put to boil during one day. The juice filtered, sweetened and mixed with milk gives once cold a gelatine that Geoffroy dared to taste.


This Bolivian family accomodated us during a few days after us to have fished out in a ford where we had drowned the engine.

A mygale that we crossed on the road.


Small installation in front of a splendid rainbow. We have just led 8 hours of sharp on an execrable road (5 passages of ford and a 20aine of puddle pools worse than the fords). There remain to us still 2 hours of road in mud and under the rain, which we are unaware of, from where our smile.

Traditional house in Paraguayan Pantanal. All wood comes from the palm trees


The roof is made of an interlacing of half trunk palm tree hollow out.

Pay attention to your buttocks Geoffroy they have the air aggressive...

Oh what a nice baby! Isn't this? ; -)
The pretty young lady drinks one subdued cold as in Brazil in Bolivia and in the north of Argentina. Whereas it is drunk hot in the remainder of Argentina.
