Before leaving the states we corresponded with Martin Rattray from Altiplano Bolivia, who helped us find a temporary apartment to spend the first month in Tarija. When we arrived the apartment wasn't quite ready, so we ended up staying with Martin and his wife Louise's at their excellent bed and breakfast Residencial Altiplano. Anyplace that gets five stars on Tripadvisor has to be good, right? Actually I would give Altiplano six stars if I could. It's that good. Martin and Louise are excellent hosts—they provide excellent accommodations, valuable time-saving advice, and a killer breakfast.
They were also understanding about us bringing Miles along. By then he had been on enough noisy planes, cargo holds, and taxis for a cat lifetime. He slept most of the time at Altiplano. We also spent most of the time at Altiplano decompressing. Samantha caught a head cold while we were there, so she was pretty well out of commission for a few days recuperating.
