BOLIVIA | Sun, 19 May 2013 | By a_johnson | Views [1384]

La Paz - 11,975 feet above sea level and you can certainly feel it! My time in La Paz was short, only two nights but that was more than enough for me. A capital city nestled low in a basin surrounded by mountains, it didn't have the wow factor as ... Read more >
