We arrive in La Paz which must of been the longest and roughest bus/train journey in the world so far. La Paz is a busy modern city and is the highest capital in the world (The city is at nearly 4000 m above sea level). The alcohol her seems to go straight to my head here and it feels hard t breathe. Seems a good place to adjust to the climate before we tackle Macchu Picchu on the journey ahead.

Here we explore the city’s museums or its historic monuments, such as the Iglesia de San Francisco. We also visit some of the cities renowned markets to pick up a few souvenirs and handicrafts , including the Mercado de Hechicería (The Witches’ Market). The atmosphere on the street is an incredible cultural experience with streets lined with market stalls and vendors.
