Everybody has heard of La Paz and knows that it's very high, but nothing more. The town stretches from 3000m (upper class) to 4000m (lower class), in other words you have to pay your access to the oxygen! This is a view of La Paz with the Ilimani in the background (over 6000m).
From the town center you can see the suburbs going up the hill.
Plaza Murillo is the center of the colonial town and is very pleasant. Just next to it, there are many high rise buildings and more modern constructions.
The altitude brings extreme weather changes like 25C under the sun, and only 10C when clouds and wind arrive, so you really have to be prepared for anything when you go for a day out.
We visited the old town center with Lina and her kid Belú, before walking through the nice middle class residential area of Sopocachi and then through the market.
We then visited the Lina's house under construction which offers the best views of the whole town and the Ilimani behind. When the place will be finished it will really be one of the best panoramic view of La Paz!

quels infatigables voyageurs
Et les photos sont toujours aussi belles et intéressantes.
Nous rentrons d'un très agréable week-end en Bourgogne chez Claire et Benoit.
Ayant eu bcp de photos la semaine dernière sur votre blog nous n'avons pas eu tout de suite le réflexe d'aller jeter un oeil en rentrant.
Et pourtant si, il y avait déjà 3 nouvelles étapes...
Quelles images époustouflantes sur des sites connus sur lesquels nous savons très peu de chose.
au fait qui est Lina???
Lina est la fille de Hector Giraldo, le Colombien qui etait a notre mariage.
