This on both counts. Didn't notice much benefit from the tea and chewing the leaves is pretty rank. I understand that stronger preparations are readily available though.

You could when I was there about 7 years ago. I've no idea if it's still happening though.

They'd stopped the one from the book when I was there in 2009. I think you could do a tour of a different prison although it wasn't meant to be anywhere near as good.
 
Was fkn brilliant trip like - altitude a slight problem.
Went to a footy game at the crumbling national stadium - The Strongest won 4-0.
Uyuni salt flats awesome, and saw loads of great scenery.
Dropped down in to Chile at San Pedro de Atacama and had top time there, La Serena and Santiago.
Would recommend to anyone.

What was the Footy like mate? I've always had a bit of a fascination for South American Football.
 
San Pedro was like that town in Footloose - no dancing allowed !!! Mental, cops could shut a place down if dancing rule broken ! The 'reason' given is that the drug dealers were q'ing up to deal wherever there was dancing so the mayor banned it to stop them !!

Mate, the standard was poor - even worse than what I saw in Argentina.
About 15,000 there and ultras sang and banged drums for 90 mins !
