sacred Lake Titicaca La Paz - the city in which you walk through the rolls ends shortness

No. So as we wrote before we visited the highest capital in the world, La Paz (average height of around 3600 but trza places to climb to over 4000 m asl). The first moments in the city were really weird. We took the bus to the nearby metropolis south, and barely had time to see the beautiful view of the city and at the same time the bus stopped and the driver spoke to the crowd in the style of "the end of the strike, the road closed." Previously we reported that Bolivians strike in love, later turned out that the strikes in La Paz for a week already underway. (As for wages and working conditions) and NO, and we got by with backpacks tralujemy rozwrzeszczany protesting crowd, determined people. Neither are funny or tragic - just strange that in this country anyone can Block the main streets, and none of this does nothing. Although the city was paralyzed from the light not bother us in his tour.
La Paz as the capital is huge, located in a vast valley makes an electrifying impression. It is surprising that in inches is not overwhelming. Tiring yes, but only because of the altitude. When we went to do a photo panoromiczne to the higher altitude areas in the walk turned into real trouble taterniczy. So visitors to the city should be patient because it serves no haste health here:)))

La Paz

It's also La Paz

walk around the city is a real effort taterniczy:))

is not merely the La Paz is the attraction, but also a few things in the immediate vicinity. First, you can climb the surrounding six tysieczniki and it is not difficult. But we decided to lower the flights to those of our four thousand:)) The second wonderful thing is the Way of Death (World's Most Dangerous Road) or exit from a hill on a bike:)))
Road Deaths deserves a separate paragraph because it scored Seba .. ... and survived .... and did not se anything. It is very surprising, with an accident here is not difficult. It is 61 km down a clean exit, about 3 hours riding a bicycle at the time an extremely dangerous bends, of which falls as you load a few hundred meters of an abyss. Generally, the route starts at an altitude of 4650 m above sea level and ends at an altitude of 1200 m above sea level. This is a 3600 m downhill for almost a professional hardware a little rickety, but efficient in 78% (total count only chamulce :))). The route is divided into two parts the first asphalt road where the speed reaches 70 km / h on gravel and more technical with sharp turns and huge gorges. Adrenaline level is so large that even the man on the road comes a little excited. Name of the route comes from the number of car accidents, but also once a year are killed one person on a bike: ((((in my opinion and so little).

third thing is a souvenir. Pierdoly here are so pleasant to the eye, with no way to resist them sometimes. Well, as it happens man falls into madness souvenirs. Pokupowalismy a little now and our backpacks are nicer to wear jeszce :))))) Stalls with suvenirami Some are quite weird and slightly intriguing. You can buy them breaks embryos and other strange potions and spells to przyzady. In Bolivia, still mixes Christianity with local mystical beliefs. For example, for building a new home in August dig foundations lam embryos, but also in the provinces they journey deep are cases neonates burial!!
forget an add that we found our Palm Sunday. As with the first feast outside the home we decided to go to church, and devote palemki. The church we came across in August, not without the fun because she Basilica of San Francisco. Beautifully decorated building in the ornamental styles spanning the Indian and Christian. Palemki are other than us, braided trzcinny in different shapes and sizes. Mass fortunately turned out to be short and palemki We kept until Easter.

it palemke you:))

In La Paz you can be a lot longer than we did and we certainly do not bored. Everyone will find something for everyone and tourist agencies propunuja different crazy things. My podpatrzelismy some of the ideas and we went trekking options in towering over the city Corrdilierze Real (of course, on your own). After a short preparation we set out heyyy:)
