I am currently in La Paz, Bolivia and have spent the week preparing for a trek into the mountains of the Cordillera Real. La Paz is a huge city in a valley at 11,000ft elevation. The photos below give an idea of the scale of the city.

Some photos of the people in La Paz.

Not a local

Today we went to El Alto to see some Cholita wrestling. Words can not really describe this. Only a video clip does it justice. The most entertainment $10 can buy.

I will post more photos as soon as I return from our trek. There may also be some additional Cholita videos...
