Triathlon in Tupiza: jeep, horse & bike and in the night suffering the pain...

+ We did a full day sports in Tupiza to visit the incredible surroundings and impausible rock formations. We first visited some areas with a Jeep and the funny guide "Panchito" who explained us how the Bolivians defeted the Argentinians when defending these territories 1 century ago (perhaps the only war that Bolivia ever won, as they lost territories to Brazil & Paraguay as well as the cost to Chile which is still a big issue in Bolivia today). Then we rode a horse for another 3 hours under a terribly hot sun which left remarkable pain on our bottoms and finally, to end up the day, we descended an amazing mountain by bikes on a dirt road without suspension on the bike, which added to the remarkable pain and you discovered strengh in your arms that you would have never thought exists. At the end of the day all our body was in pain... We would need two days of recovery :)
