La Paz
The
capital of Bolivia is a truly unique city. Set in a deep canyon carved
into the altiplano it has beautiful colonial architecture, a modern central
district and fantastic views at every turn. The only thing it doesn't
have is much oxygen - which becomes immediately apparent whenever you
try to walk uphill.
La Paz
has a very interesting collection of markets. You can often buy anything
from dried llama foetuses to souvenirs from the same stall.
It's
a little known fact that popcorn was invented in the Andes. People eat
it by the wheel barrowful - literally!
