Good and bad beers in Bolivia

by gonzo747

We did some beer tasting in Bolivia. We had some great ones and some awful ones as well.Pacena was my favourite. Also the strong bock was quite good.There were a few beers with incas on it which looked very nice (the label) but tasted awful and had a low alcohol percentage.If it comes to beers......... don't judge a book by its cover!!!!!

Allowing for Altitude Sickness

by AlbuqRay

Many guided tours of Bolivia have a specific rationale for what they do on the first day in La Paz because of the altitude and the possibility of soroche (altitude sickness). The American Airlines flight arrives from Miami very early in the morning. They take you to your hotel and give you time to rest until after lunch. You should do just that to let your body start to adjust to the altitude. Resist the urge to do anything that requires exercise. They then do a half day tour that starts with a drive down through Sopocachi, Zona Sur and on to Valle de la Luna. This drive drops maybe 500 meters in elevation in a distance of ~5 km. If they continue on down to Mallasa or the zoo, it is even lower in elevation. This will help you adjust to any problems you are having with soroche and gives you a look at the affluent part of La Paz.

CONDORS AND COCA

by taichi

BOLIVIA IS A PLACE WHERE CULTURE IS ALIVE AND PRACTICED, NOT A THING OF THE PAST BUT OF THE MOMENT,,I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER BOLIVIA SEVERAL TIMES IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW. THE SOLSTICE RITUAL AT TIAHUANACO, ALL NIGHT LONG WAITING FOR THE SUN TO RISE, FREEZING BY FIRES WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, MUSIC, AND THE SUN SHINING THROUGH EVERYONES ARMS IN THE MORNING

Des fois on allait au lac TITICACA

La c est juste pour vous montrer que la-bas on travail encore avec 1 soc et 2 boeux...C est assez fou de voir ca encore a notre epoque, mais dans les andes la plus part des terres sont pas mecanisables et quasies inaxcessibles pour les machines....Les paysans sont aussi tellement pauvrent que le temps c est arrete a l age des conquistadores...
