    Sunset over Lake Titicaca
    by lemondrop, 4 more photos
    This is a religious site atop a hill that rises above the town of Copacabana. It's a steep 20 minute walk. Along the way, people have tables set up selling various religious objects. Best time to walk up is late afternoon to catch the sunset over Lake Titicaca. Up top, some locals sell drinks and some knick knacks. Make sure you bring a flashlight for your way down in the dark.

    Rurre : Pampa, pampa !!!

  • A great 3 days tour into the pampa, to watch loads of animals (crocodiles, monkeys, anacondas, cobras, piranhas, cat-fishes, birds, pink dolphins...) and great sunrise and sunset... You have to do it (even if it's only to feed the mandatory mosquitoes).
    We had choosen Amazonica Travel (15 USD per day, but it was crisis over there), and it was really cool...

    Un superbe tour de 3 jours dans la pampa, pour voir des tonnes d'animaux (crocodiles, singes, anacondas, cobras, piranhas, poissons-chats, des tonnes d'oiseaux et des dauphins roses), sans parler du coucher et du lever de soleil sur fond du plus grand ciel que j'ai jamais vu. Vous devez le faire (ne serait-ce que pour nourrir les moustiques).
    Nous avions choisi l'agence Amazonica Travel (15 USD par jour, mais le pays etait en crise) et c'etait vraiment bien...

    Rurre : Climb up the hill ! Montez le Cerro !

    Hard : you will throw out your lungs to get on the top of the hill (you will see the white cross from below). But, you will attend a great scenery, with a huge part of tropical landscape (green trees). Begin climbing at 17.00 in order to attend the sunset - then get down quickly (though carefully) : the mosquitoes will attack you after 18.00...

    Dur : vous allez cracher vos poumons avant d'atteindre le sommet du Cerro (celui ou il y a une croix blanche, bien visible depuis le village). Mais, une fois en haut, attendez vous a un superbe spectacle, avec une vision plus amazonienne (des arbres a perte de vue). Commencez a monter a 17.00 pour voir le coucher de soleil ... Apres, descendez rapidement (mais faites bien attention) : en effet, les moustiques attaquent vers 18.00...

    The city of Uyuni seems empty... Large streets recovered by a slide of sand, small shops, it looks more like a desert cow-boys village than a starting point for great adventures... Though...

    La ville de Uyuni parait vide... Larges rues recouvertes d'une pellicule de sable, petites echoppes, on dirait plus une ville fantome de western que le point de depart de grandes aventures... Et pourtant...

    Why here ? Because a train always comes back to where he was built... However, they could use a vacuum cleaner before the funerals !!!

    Pourquoi ici ? Parce qu'un train revient toujours la ou il a ete construit... Toutefois, ils auraient pu utiliser un aspirateur avant l'enterrement !!!

  • The view from La Paz - Bolivia
    The view from La Paz
    by lemondrop, 2 more photos
    La Paz is the type of city thats great for exploring on foot. The views all around are breathtaking as the city sits in a canyon, surrounded on all sides by fantastic snow capped mountains. For this reason, some refer to La Paz as "The Bowl". The streets are like wandering through an outdoor market, and it's a joy to simply wander about and see what's on offer. A good place to start is the Plaza San Francisco. There's good people watching and photo ops for us camera freaks. Take a walk up Sagarnaga street along the side of the plaza and check out the hilly market area here. Take it easy walking up some of the steep streets around here...remember you're at around 11,500 ft. above sea level.

    The end of the 3 days tour from Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama : the green lake and the Licancabur Volcano behind... Just... There is no word, I think, to describe it... Looks like it's fake, as it's so beautiful...

    Le clou du trtip de 3 jours depuis Uyuni a San Pedro de Atacam : la lagune verte et le volcan Licancabur derriere... Tout simplement... Y a pas de mot, je pense, pour decrire ca... On dirait que c'est du faux, tellement que c'est beau...

    These mountains look fake ? But they're not No painting either. It's the true reality of the awesome landscapes in the desert of the South Lipez.

    Ces montagnes paraissent fausses... Mais, elles sont bien reelles.. Et non, ce n'est pas non plus une peinture ! C'est la realite vraie des paysages geniaux du desert du Sud Lipez...
