Yesterday I finally left Potosí, after almost a week that I spent there with Potosí as a base for activities. I had asked a lot of people about accommodation options between Potosí and Challapata, and the majority told me that yes there is accommodation in Yocalla (43km from Potosí) and most likely in Ventilla (62km from Yocalla – but with a lot of climbing in between). And so my plan was to first cycle up to Yocalla on the first day, and then to Ventilla on the second day, to Challapata on the third day, and finally from Challapata to Oruro in one or two days.
