Dear all,
Here
are a few pics on our few days in La Paz, which is impressive by its
design and organisation. One part of it, including the airport, is at
4,000m high, on a "plato", and the other part down a valley, which is
full of houses that are well built within the mountains. From the plato,
you could enjoy a very impressive view on the city and the very famous
mountain called Illimani which lays at 6,439m high in the background. We
then headed to the Titicaca lake which is well known to be the largest
highest lake at roughly 3,900m high. As a record, for the past 4 weeks,
we have been living at around 4,000m high so when we will go down, we
should be fitter than ever ;-)..Anyway, we enjoyed Titicaca, and its
islands such as Isla del Sol, in Bolivia and a few others like Uros and
Taquile in Peru. Check out our Portraits section to understand more the
inhabitants of Uros who live on floating islands... So far we dont see
any difference between Peru and Bolivia apart from the fact that the
food is even better ;-) here in Peru...We are now in Cusco and we should
understand more about about the Incas culture and history in the next few
days. We will be updating the blog after our trip to Machu Picchu...As
usual, please visit our standard pages like Bolivia/Peru, Portraits, Foodies and See & Contact us. Take care. Guillaume & Agnes
