Lake Titicaca to La Paz
This morning we travelled by hydrofoil and motorboat to the floating islands of Uros. The lake has many floating islands which are made from the totora reed which they compress into rigid structures. They also build their homes and boats from the reeds.
We then headed for La Paz, and stopped for a shot of the sprawling city, it was quite a sight
We slowly made our way to the cable car station. The people of La Paz treat the cable car as their transport to work and there are a number of lines connecting places. It is the most sophisticated cable car network in the world.
Then onto the main square with the old and new government building and cathedral
Through the nightmare traffic to the Witches Market. The Bolivian people are very superstitious and here you can get amulets, llama foetuses, or a potion for just about anything.
Our last stop for the day was Valle de la Luna, so named because the landscape resembles the surface of the moon
After a long day we arrived at our hotel, the Atix, a lovely modern hotel with lots of original art. On the move early tomorrow
Same view as above but at night
