Butch and Sundance
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid robbed a payroll north of Tupiza and fled to the mining town of San Vicente in 1906. It was here they were eventually killed. San Vicente has a current population of about 40 people, an evaluation of 4500m, and is situated 100km northwest of Tupiza. A truck comes down to the Tupiza market once a week (Thursday) to buy produce and returns to San Vicente that night. I´d like to go there but I don´t have the time. Tomorrow I head for Uyuni - the gateway to southwest Bolivia.
Coincidentially, Che Guevara also met his end in a small Bolivian backwater town.
