La Paz is the highest administrative capital in the world (the official capital of Bolivia is Sucre) at an elevation of about 3650m. Staying there for two days was a piece of cake after trekking on the Isla of Sol at 4200m!

I don't like pigeons but these guys do..

Rush hour
Dried lama embryo, anyone?
And finally, our hostel. Recommended.
