La Paz

We took an overnight bus from Copacabana to La Paz, which wasn´t the most comfortable ride due to the road been somewhat dodgy, but we made it.

La Paz is the highest capital city in the world at 4000m! Everywhere you walk it´s either uphill or downhill and at that height it´s hard work.

The city was very much like we had expected, lots of old colonial buildings, ladies in bowler hats and impromtu street markets on every corner.

This cathedral on Plaza Murillo looked like it was about to fall down...


P1050696

Despite the hills, we did plenty of exploring and seeing a completely different culture to anywhere else we´ve been.
