The witches market in La Paz. Here you can buy herbs and good luck charms, dried lama fetus, stuffed armadillos and Ozelot skins. There's not many Ozelots left :-(

Statue in Tiahuanaco.



The Tiahuanaco ruins.





Stone statue in Tiwanaku outside La Paz.



Our 5$ hotel room in Sorata had all the furniture you could need, and 5-6 meters to the ceiling.

View from Sorata.















Looking back at Sorata.

Bolivian garbage disposal...straight out over the mountain side.

They could hardly have picked a more beautiful spot to dump a truckload of garbage.. (and it's workers from the local government so we couldn't really go to the police..)

Bus window view of La Paz.

Beginning of the La Paz - Coroico road by mountain bike.







The La Paz - Coroico road.



There's a few small waterfalls crashing straight down on the road.



Bolivian traffic jam..





The La Paz - Coroico road. Said to be the worlds most dangerous road..



A bus had fallen over the edge just a few days before we biked down the road. Luckily it got stuck in the trees not too far down and everyone survived.





Notice the chimpanzee. They don't live in Rurrenabaque, Bolivia - only in Africa! La Paz is a difficult place to find a serious tour agency...
