VALLEGRANDE (BOLIVIA)







Vallegrande is the place where Che Guevara was displayed dead to the public in the launderette of the local hospital and later chucked in a grave with all others killed on the same mission. We took a taxi to the remote area of La Higuera, the place of his last battle. It was a 6h return trip and did cost us all in all 180 Bs (12 Pounds). The scenery up there was amazing and we even spotted condors on the way.

Vallegrande itself was a dump. The only available meals in town were chicken soup or chicken with rice and believe us it sounds nicer than it looked like. We ordered chicken soup containing chicken feet. That was rather appetizing!
