| The city of La Paz. A bustling, vibrant, hilly city! |
 |
| A sample of goods at the Witche's Market. This is what somebody would typically buy and burn as an offering to Pachamama (Mother Earth), a practice common among Andean cultures. Yep...that's a llama fetus in there! |
 |
| The Gate of the Sun, at Tiwanaku. This is an important archeological sight outside of La Paz, built by a pre-Incan culture called the Tiwanakus. |
 |
| The bustling town of Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. It was a national holiday, so all the city folk were in town for the weekend...normally this beach was empty! |
 |
| View from the top of Isla del Sol on Titicaca. It was a hell of a hike up...@ 4100 meters above sea level. Seriously...sea level, I miss you with your oxygen-rich air. |
This marks the end of our time in Bolivia...three weeks in total. It was my favourite country we've been to so far. Some people I've told have been surprised by that...but it's a really special place. The landscapes are so varied and unique. The people, though some are devistatingly poor, are dignified and proud. There is so much culture and history here, evident everywhere you go, it makes for a fascinating place to visit.
