Bolivia-12 La Paz, the last of the vacation

2008.12.27


coca leaf press

The street of the witches market

Some shots of the witches market

Allsorts of bizzare offerings to Pachamama, lotions and potions to cure all ills, real and imagined...!! Llama feotus`are big business here, to be buried below your house to ward off bad luck, bring health, wealth and happiness.........etc



this city is just one big street market.


tight streets for traffic and pedestrians......

Some of these cables hang so low you can touch them, good for the bootleg dvds/cds sellers, they can hook up their dvd players and tvs...........no problem man...




The main plaza with the cathedral, the presidential palace is on the left

the seat of government


Evo Morales presidential guard being smartened up

plus the usual riot police ready for action.....


traffic, and pedestrians fill the streets 24 hours day, midnight is the same chaos as 9am

The city rises up to the plateau where the airport is, here the better of people live down and the not so well off live up on the hillsides and over the top



A couple of shots of the quiet museum area.


Vallee de la lune, this area is just outside the city just a huge slowly eroding sandstone area, now a national park, while it lasts
