Coroico – three days of total relaxation

July 18, 2011May 23, 2011 by Leah

After the Death Road ride, most people catch a bus back to La Paz with the tour company. We however, along with a couple of other guys from our group, had decided to stay in Coroico, the end point for a few days. At little over 1000m above sea level it’s much warmer than La … Read more Coroico – three days of total relaxation

Biking the world’s most dangerous road

July 18, 2011May 21, 2011 by Rich

Sorry Mum, I said no stupid stuff whilst away, but this looked like far too much fun. The World’s Most Dangerous Road is a 64km road from La Paz to Coroico.

Inca legend says that Viracocha, who created the universe (apparently), emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca and created the sun, hence Isla del Sol. The place is packed with Inca ruins and stunning coastline. There are still about 800 families living on the island, some still working the land, the rest now working the … Read more Isla del Sol – Inca central

Copacabana – Bolivia, not Brazil

July 18, 2011May 14, 2011 by Leah

Copacabana sits on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the largest high altitude lake in the world. It’s a three hour bus ride from La Paz with a rather interesting ferry crossing halfway through – everyone gets off the bus and catches a boat across the water whilst the bus is carted over on what looks … Read more Copacabana – Bolivia, not Brazil
