BOLIVIA August 10 - 28 2006.


The latest trip was to Bolivia and the photo shows a view across La Paz, the highest capital in the world. El Alto, where the airport is situated is at 4,100 m above sea-level, whereas the official "centre" sits at 3,600 m. We began our tour of South America's poorest country in the lowlands near Santa Cruz de la Sierra, steadily gaining altitude after an excursion into the Chaco through Samaipata, Comarapa, on up to Cochabamba, Oruro, Inquisivi, the Sud Yungas near Chulumani, Nor Yungas of Coroico and finishing with excursions out of La Paz.
