Bolivian river trip - Travel Writing from Travel Insights
"For months I had been itching for a chance to head off into the Amazon. From my desk at a Bolivian English-language newspaper, so many stories had reached me that I was curious to see if the north of the country really was swarming with man-eating mini monkeys and Norwegian-eating cannibals."

Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking
"Starting high in the rarefied air of the Bolivian Andes, the steep and bumpy La Paz-to-Coroico road plunges down almost 3,600 meters on its spectacular 64-km path to the lush, sub-tropical Yungas and the sleepy town of Coroico. The narrow -- occasionally very narrow -- track hugs the walls of the sheer valley as it snakes its way beneath waterfalls and rocky overhangs."
