A VIEW OF LA PAZ FROM EL ALTO.
by marcelo15
As soon as you get to la paz, you will pass by el alto which is a city up to la paz.
after crossing the toll, you will be able to see one of the most beautiful landscapes you`ve ever seen. (believe me)
for instance in front of you is located the illimani mountain. and around is part of range hills of los andes.
on the motorway from el alto to la paz you will go down aproximately 500m. until you get to the center of la paz. Well, as a work as a tour guide i can tell you that almost all my visitors had have a great experience seeing my city. Try by yourself i`m almost sure that it won`t let you down!

Go to the market in the native quarters. Here you see dried up llama fetuses, Ekeko (their local version of Santa Claus) and assorted potpourri items which are offered to Pacha Mama, the godess of nature. The native women are all dressed in their local regalia ie shawls, fancy skirts and bowler hats. It's a great place to wander and explore. They are also not very pesky merchants which makes it even more pleasant. The view from above the gargantuan crater where La Paz is situated. It's like a lunar setting but with a fully functioning modern city in it. Space 1999 here I come!
plaza Murillo - la cathedral
by chancay
The cathedral was built in 1835, together with the presidential palace ( also known as "Palacio quemado" = "burnt Palace, because it was burnt various times) and the "Casa de Pedro Domingo Murillo" (house of P.D.Murillo) the main buildings around the Plaza Murillo. P.D.Murillo was a martyr of the independence revolution of 1809 and hanged in the plaza that uses his name now. As often church and state are united at the main place to show their power.
SAILING WISDOM
by Orkaena
The locals sails the Titikaka Lake with the same boats design and construction than a thousand years ago, and without any doubt that it works efficiently.
They haven't troubles about the materials sources or provider, because the nature is their only main source of "commodities". It style of life has another great advantage, the recycling processes, because all their parts are biodegradable.
As you can see in the pic beside, even the design is beautiful, when you see at them sailing on this boats you feel something very similar to the envy. they are free.
